The Efficacy of Laser in Root Canal Disinfection

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The aim of this study is to assess in vivo the efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG/diode laser and Diode/EDTA on bacterial count in root canal treatment in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in total bacterial count reduction between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used. Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups : - Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA. - Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination - Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination Microbiological analysis will be done for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria using Colony forming units. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed.

Clinical Trial Description

The use of lasers in disinfection of the root canal has been recently implemented. Lasers have bactericidal effect, and have deep penetration depth inside the root canal up to 1000 um. Thus, it can be used effectively for disinfection of the root canal system following biomechanical instrumentation reaching areas which were considered before non-reachable. The aim of this study is to assess in vivo the efficacy of Er,Cr:YSGG/diode laser and Diode/EDTA on root canal treatment in an evidence-based clinical trial. The null hypothesis being tested is that there is no difference in total bacterial count reduction between conventional irrigation and the two types of lasers used. Thirty patients are equally divided into 3 separate groups : - Group A (Conventional): 2.5% NaOCL and 17% EDTA. - Group B(Dual): saline along with Er,Cr:YSGG laser and diode laser combination - Group C(Combined): saline along with 17% EDTA and diode laser combination After disinfection, local anesthetic and tooth isolation and access cavity preparation, the first microbial samples (S1) will be collected using 3 sterile paper points and immediately placed inside sterile tubes containing transport medium of thioglycolate, cleaning and shaping with final disinfection protocol will be performed according to the group in which the participant was allocated to. Followed by S2 sample. obturation using warm vertical compaction technique. Microbiological analysis will be done for both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria using Colony forming units. All data will be collected, tabulated, summarized, and statistically analyzed. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
