conventional root canal
conventional root canal treatment was done , 2.5% sodium hypochlorite was used and was activated by 980 nm with a repeated pulse mode using a pulse duration of 5 s and a pulse interval of 0.2 ms. The laser irradiation will be delivered for 1 minute into the canal up to 1 mm short of the working length, with circling movements from the apical part moving towards the coronal part (Lite Medics 1.00Watt serial number 148 Ver.SwvM. 150VS108VT.100)
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
