ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how magnesium levels in the body might affect the healing process after a wisdom tooth removal. When a tooth is extracted, the area where the tooth was can take time to heal, and this healing process is influenced by various factors, including the body's magnesium levels. The researchers want to see if having lower levels of magnesium, measured by a specific score called the magnesium depletion score (MDS), impacts how well and how quickly the extraction socket heals.

To be part of this study, participants should be healthy adults who are scheduled to have their lower wisdom teeth removed. However, individuals with certain conditions, such as chronic diseases, those taking specific medications that could affect healing, or pregnant women, cannot participate. The trial is not yet recruiting, but once it starts, participants will have the opportunity to help researchers understand more about wound healing and magnesium, which may benefit future patients undergoing similar procedures.
