Laser and sonic tools fail to ease root canal pain, study finds

NCT ID NCT07170098

Summary

This study tested whether using special sonic tools or a laser during root canal treatment could reduce pain afterwards. 80 patients with a specific tooth infection but no pain received one of four cleaning methods. The results showed no significant difference in pain levels or painkiller use between the groups, meaning these advanced tools did not make recovery more comfortable.
