An interventional study of Diode laser therapy and Alveogyl dressing in Alveolar Osteitis, sponsored by Badr University. Completed at 1 site in Egypt. Open to participants aged 25 Years to 40 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2025-09-25.

This study examines the efficiency of diode laser therapy to manage dry sockets after tooth extraction.
The study compares the efficiency of diode laser therapy and using only alveogyl to accelerate the healing of dry sockets after tooth extraction in smokers. Smoker patients with dry sockets were enrolled randomly into two different groups. Group 1 received dual wavelength laser diode therapy, three times per week. While group 2 received only a topical application of alveogl. The treatment lasted for two consecutive weeks. The treatment efficiency was evaluated by measuring the volume of the socket using the syringe method. The pain level was measured by the visual analog scale.
46 studies on the registry are indexed under Dry Socket; 10 are open to participants now.
This study's enrollment of 50 is below the median of 60 across 41 interventional studies indexed under Dry Socket.

Exclusion Criteria:
Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.
Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.
Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.
Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.
After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.
Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.
Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.
