Summary

This study looks at whether a special light-activated treatment, called photodynamic therapy, can kill more bacteria and reduce pain after a root canal. Fifty adults with infected teeth will receive either standard root canal care or the same care plus this light therapy. The goal is to see if adding this step leads to fewer germs and a more comfortable recovery.
