Study aim
-
Evaluation of effect of diode laser in the healing process of periapical lesions of single channel anterior teeth with root retreatment
-
Design
-
A controlled, single-blind, randomized clinical trial
-
Settings and conduct
-
Selection of 24 patients who need endodontic retreatment in anterior teeth, preparation of parallel radiographs of patients, and devising them randomly into two groups. In both groups, canal cleaning and shaping are done in the first session. For group 2, in the second session, after the final washing with distilled water, 940nm laser is used by Smile Doctor device with 200-micrometer fiber, continuously and 1.5watts. In each channel, 2 seconds of radiation will be done for every millimeter of channel length. Radiation is done twice in each channel. Fiber optic that if 1mm shorter than the working length will be used in the circumferential direction of the canal. The healing process of periapical lesions of patients will be followed up before, 3 and 6 months after treatment, and measured by parallel radiography and periapical index. After collecting data, it will be analyzed and statistically interpreted.
