First seen Jul 08, 2026 · Last updated Jul 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether placing a hyaluronic acid gel into the empty socket after lower wisdom tooth removal can prevent dry socket—a painful condition where the blood clot fails to form or is lost. The study includes 64 healthy adults who need a lower wisdom tooth extracted. Researchers will compare dry socket rates and pain levels between those who receive the gel and those who do not.
