Summary
Tooth extraction is one of the major surgical procedures that can cause dental anxiety and
dental fear in pediatric patients as a result of traumatic experiences. Preventing pain and
infection by appropriate means during and after this application increases patient comfort
and helps to develop patient cooperation for possible future dental experiences.
In the current literature, it has been shown that topical hyaluronic acid applications have a
role in reducing infection and pain.
There are also studies in the literature showing that tissue biostimulation with different
doses of diode laser application accelerates wound healing by promoting cell regeneration.
Although there are studies showing that two different applications accelerate wound healing,
there is no study comparing the effectiveness of these two methods. In addition, there is no
study evaluating extraction wound healing in pediatric patients.
Our study will be the first to evaluate tooth extraction wound healing in pediatric patients
and to compare these two methods.
