Soft tissue laser Diode laser application
conventional root canal treatment
Endodontically treated teeth by virtue of a dental applicator positioned at a right angle to the mucosa at the level of the apices. Application of the laser probe was applied to both the buccal and lingual mucosae overlying the apices of the target tooth. Total exposure time for each tooth was 60 seconds (a dose = 70 j/cm2 for analgesia) The laser unit used in this study used was a diode laser (Lite Medics 1.00Watt serial number 148 Ver.SwvM. 150VS108VT.100) of wavelength 980nm and Max power 15WCW Class IV Laser Product
Placebo : conventional root canal conventional root canal treatment with irrigation of sodium hypochlorite 2.5% with mock laser intervention
