Laser zaps tooth pain: new study tests precision treatment

NCT ID NCT07287709

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares a laser-based procedure to the standard method for treating severe toothache (irreversible pulpitis) in adult molars. Sixty participants will receive either laser or conventional treatment, and healing will be tracked using X-rays and AI analysis. The goal is to see if the laser approach is more effective at relieving pain and preserving the tooth.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Diode laser and sodium hypochlorite solution
What this could lead to
If successful, laser pulpotomy could offer a less painful, more precise alternative to standard root canal treatment for severe toothache.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants. The laser method may not prove more effective than the standard approach, and results may not apply to all patients.
