Brief Summary

Effectiveness of lasers in reducing pain during and after root canal treatment for mandibular molar teeth affected with acute irreversible pulpitis.

Conditions

Decayed Teeth

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Change in intraoperative pain measured using visual analog scale during root canal treatment following laser application

  Change in pain is assessed in 10 point visual analog scale (VAS) before and after laser application.

  procedure (during root canal treatment)

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Change in postoperative pain measured using visual analog scale after root canal treatment

Study Arms (1)

Laser to reduce pain intraoperatively and post operatively

EXPERIMENTAL

Diode lasers are used to assess its efficacy in reducing intraoperative and postoperative pain following root canal treatment in mandibular molar teeth with acute irreversible pulpitis

Device: iLASE DIODE LASERS

Interventions

iLASE DIODE LASERS DEVICE

940nm diode laser with 1.5 watts activated in a continuous mode and applied on to the canal orifices during root canal treatment to reduce intraoperative pain and further its effect on post operative pain is assessed

Laser to reduce pain intraoperatively and post operatively
