• Status: Completed
• Trial end date: 2023-02-01
• Target enrollment: 0
• Participant gender: All

Summary

The aim of this study is to evaluate in vivo the post operative pain after laser root canal treatment in necrotic teeth in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in post operative pain between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used.

Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups :

• Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA.

• Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination

• Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination Each patient is given pain scale chart Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) to record his/her pain level before any endodontic treatment. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed.

• Phase: Phase 2
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers?: Accepts Healthy Volunteers
