Laser vs. ultrasound: which root canal method works best for diabetics?
NCT ID NCT07389772
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at how different root canal cleaning methods—laser and ultrasound—affect the immune response in people with and without type 2 diabetes who have a tooth infection called apical periodontitis. Researchers will measure certain immune markers in fluid from around the tooth to see if one method is better. The goal is to understand how diabetes might change healing after root canal treatment.
