First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether using a special laser (diode laser) after a common dental procedure called direct pulp capping can help reduce pain and tooth sensitivity. Fifty-six people with tooth decay that reached the nerve were treated. Half got standard care, and half got standard care plus the laser. The goal was to see if the laser group had less discomfort after the procedure.
