Brief Summary
The intervention in this study is to determine whether multiple applications of photobiostimulation with Nd-YAG laser improve wound healing following tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation. Investigators plan to assess the impact of laser treatment on wound healing by measuring salivary biomarkers, gingival wound size and surveying for the use of pain reduction and patient satisfaction. The intervention group will receive extraction and alveolar ridge preservation with Nd-YAG laser photobiostimulation on days 1, 3, and 7 following extraction and socket preservation, while the control group will receive the standard of care extraction and alveolar ridge preservation without the laser
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Participants who are ≥ 18 years old, * Patients who are scheduled for the treatment of tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation (ARP) * No contraindications for tooth extraction and alveolar ridge preservation based on electronic health records. * Participants who can express the level of pain * Participants who self-report "not pregnant" Exclusion Criteria: * Untreated periodontal disease * Acute infection of the teeth * Use of antibiotics within the last three months. * Pregnant or lactating women * Use of bisphosphonates based on EHR * Alveolar bone defects occurred or were detected during tooth extraction
