Evaluating laser and cryotherapy for tooth pulp treatment
Clinical and Radiographic Evaluation Following Complete Pulpotomy Using Low Level LASER Therapy and Cryotherapy
NA · Tanta University · NCT06711081
This study tests whether using low-level laser therapy and cryotherapy can help reduce pain and improve healing for people with severe tooth pulp issues instead of traditional root canal treatments.

What this trial studies
This study investigates the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and cryotherapy in performing vital pulpotomy on mature permanent molars with irreversible pulpitis. The research focuses on assessing postoperative pain levels and radiographic changes in the pulp and periodontal areas following treatment. By utilizing innovative techniques in vital pulp therapy, the study aims to enhance tooth vitality and improve long-term outcomes for patients. The approach aligns with the trend of minimally invasive endodontics, offering an alternative to traditional root canal treatments.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates include patients with restorable, vital, and mature mandibular molars suffering from irreversible pulpitis.
Not a fit: Patients with active systemic diseases, periapical lesions, or significant periodontal issues may not benefit from this treatment.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce postoperative pain and improve the success rate of vital pulp therapy in preserving tooth vitality.
How similar studies have performed: While there is emerging interest in the use of LLLT and cryotherapy in dental treatments, this specific combination for vital pulpotomy is relatively novel and has not been extensively tested in prior studies.
