First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tested whether using special lasers during root canal treatment can lower pain afterward compared to standard methods. Forty-five adults with infected front teeth were split into three groups: one got standard cleaning, another got a combination of two lasers, and the third got one laser plus a standard cleaning solution. Patients rated their pain on a scale from 0 to 10 after the procedure.
