Evaluation of The Effect of 980nm Diode Laser Intracanal Irradiation on Levels of Interleukin-8 Expression
Endodontically Treated Teeth
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Endodontically Treated Teeth focused on measuring Diode laser, Endodontic retreatment, IL-8 expression

Inclusion Criteria: failed previously treated endodontic single-rooted teeth with chronic periapical lesions; with radiographic evidence of periapical radiolucency of not less than 1 cm diameter will be selected. Teeth with straight root canals. No contributory medical history. No previous administration of analgesics and/or antibiotics within the previous 2 weeks. Exclusion Criteria: Retreatment cases with complications such as separated instruments, perforations, ledges, resorption, transportation, calcifications, immature apices and over fillings.
