Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Tooth extraction may be an unpleasant and painful experience for children, Post-extraction wound healing. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a widely used adjuvant treatment for wound healing, resulting in both an increase in cell number and an increase in cell metabolism. HA it is an important component of the extracellular matrix and a constituent of the neural, connective, and epithelial tissues.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Tooth extraction may be an unpleasant and painful experience for children. Pain felt during dental treatment, especially tooth extraction, is the most common complication. Pain management during and after tooth extraction is part of behavioral guidance, especially in pediatric patients.

Post-extraction wound healing and pain perception are related to hostrelated factors such as the patient's immune system, the use of painkillers and antibiotics, the presence of infection in the region, and the atraumatic nature of the procedure. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) is a widely used adjuvant treatment for wound healing. It is based on the idea that exposure to a specific wavelength can alter cellular behavior, resulting in both an increase in cell number and an increase in cell metabolism. Aside from not having any negative effects, LLLT is an a thermic, photobiological, and nondestructive therapy approach.

HA it is an important component of the extracellular matrix and a constituent of the neural, connective, and epithelial tissues. Among the many biological effects of HA are its functions in cell differentiation, wound healing, inflammation, embryological development, and viscoelasticity.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT)

Participants in this arm will receive low-level laser therapy (LLLT) immediately after extraction of the first permanent molar.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Low-Level Laser Therapy

Intervention Type DEVICE

A 980 nm diode laser will be applied immediately after extraction of the first permanent molar. The laser will be used in continuous mode at 0.5 W, with a total energy of 300 J, applied for 60 seconds at three points around the extraction socket.

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

Participants in this arm will receive hyaluronic acid (HA) immediately after extraction of the first permanent molar.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Hyaluronic Acid (HA)

Intervention Type DRUG

Hyaluronic acid gel will be applied directly into the extraction socket immediately after tooth removal.
