NCT ID NCT07033403
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a low-level laser applied after removing baby teeth could help children ages 5-8 feel less pain and heal faster. Each child had two teeth pulled: one side got the laser, the other got a sham treatment. Pain and wound healing were checked on days 3 and 7. The goal is to find a non-drug option for managing dental pain in kids.
