Laser-Assisted Disinfection With and Without Photobiomodulation in Regenerative Endodontic Procedures for Necrotic Mature Teeth (LASER)
Radiographic and Clinical Evaluation of Regenerative Endodontic Procedures in Necrotic Mature Teeth With Apical Periodontitis Using Laser-Assisted Disinfection With and Without Adjunctive Photobiomodulation: A Three-Arm Randomized Clinical Trial
This study will compare three ways of treating adult teeth with a dead nerve (pulp) and an infection at the root tip. All three groups receive a regenerative endodontic procedure, which aims to help healthy tissue grow back inside the tooth. The groups differ in how the root canal is cleaned: (1) standard cleaning without a laser, (2) standard cleaning plus a diode laser to help disinfect the canal, or (3) standard cleaning plus the diode laser plus a single session of low-level light therapy (photobiomodulation) applied over the gum to support healing. Eighty-one patients aged 20 to 40 will be randomly placed into one of the three groups. Healing of the infection at the root tip will be measured with a 3D dental scan (CBCT) before treatment and 12 months later. Pain after treatment, painkiller use, and clinical signs such as swelling, tenderness, and gum pimples (sinus tract) will also be recorded. The study aims to find out whether adding laser treatment, with or without light therapy, improves healing.

Aktivní komparátor: REP's with no laser disinfection (control)
Regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) with conventional chemomechanical preparation only (2.5% sodium hypochlorite, passive ultrasonic activation, 17% EDTA, and sterile saline), followed by a calcium hydroxide intracanal dressing for 2 weeks. At the second visit: EDTA irrigation, induced apical bleeding to form a blood clot, collagen matrix, bioceramic putty barrier, and coronal seal. No laser is used. |
Two-visit regenerative endodontic procedure for necrotic mature teeth single root and single canal. Visit 1: access, working length determination, crown-down chemomechanical preparation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, passive ultrasonic activation, 17% EDTA, final saline rinse, and calcium hydroxide dressing for 2 weeks. Visit 2: 17% EDTA irrigation, induction of apical bleeding to form a blood clot, collagen matrix, bioceramic putty barrier, and coronal seal with glass ionomer. Performed identically in all three groups. |
|
Experimentální: REP's with laser-assisted disinfection, using adjunctive 810 nm diode laser irradiation.
Same REP protocol as the control group, with the addition of 810 nm diode laser disinfection at the first visit after the final saline rinse and before the calcium hydroxide dressing. Continuous wave mode, 1.5 W, 4 cycles of 5 seconds with 20-second intervals, using a 200 micrometer fiber placed 1 mm short of the working length and moved in a slow helical motion from apical to coronal. The canal is irrigated with 5 mL saline after each cycle. The second visit is identical to the control group. |

Performed identically in all three groups. Adjunctive canal disinfection at the first visit using an 810 nm diode laser (Elexxion, Germany), continuous wave, 1.5 W, 4 cycles of 5 seconds with 20-second intervals. A 200 micrometer fiber is placed 1 mm short of the working length and moved in a slow helical motion from apical to coronal at about 2 mm per second without touching the canal walls. The canal is irrigated with 5 mL sterile saline after each cycle. |

Experimentální: REP's with Laser-assisted disinfection and adjunctive photobiomodulation,
Same protocol as the laser-assisted disinfection group, plus a single session of transmucosal photobiomodulation (PBM) delivered at the second visit immediately after placement of the blood scaffold and coronal restoration. 810 nm diode laser, continuous wave, 200 mW, 8 mm tip in contact with the mucosa, applied at four sites per tooth (periapical and cervical regions on the buccal and lingual/palatal sides), 15 seconds and 3 J per site, for a total of 12 J per tooth. |
