Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults aged 25–60 with type 2 diabetes, HbA1c ≥ 6.5%, multirooted teeth with periapical lesions, and adequate fasting/random glucose control are ideal candidates.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without periapical lesions or without diabetes-related factors meeting the inclusion criteria may not benefit.

What this trial studies
The trial is a randomized controlled study conducted over one year at Sharda University. It includes adults with type 2 diabetes who require endodontic treatment and meet specific glycemic criteria. Participants are assigned to intervention arms involving a 940 nm diode laser, apple cider vinegar, and Gymnema sylvestre, with saline as a control, following standard endodontic procedures and aseptic technique. Outcomes are assessed via patient-reported pain (visual analog scale) and radiographic healing at multiple follow-up visits up to 60 days, with data analyzed statistically. Ethical approval is obtained and informed consent is required.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the approach could reduce postoperative pain and improve endodontic outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes.
How similar studies have gone: Endodontic studies exploring adjunctive lasers and herbal adjuvants show mixed results; this trial tests a novel combination in a diabetic population.
