A Randomized Controlled Trial of Endodontic Treatment Using Ultrasonic Irrigation and Laser Activated Irrigation to Evaluate Healing in Chronic Apical Periodontitis

Abstract

Background: Chronic apical periodontitis is a persistent inflammatory condition affecting the periapical tissues of a tooth. Effective disinfection of the root canal system is crucial for successful endodontic treatment. This study aims to compare the efficacy of ultrasonic irrigation (UI) and laser-activated irrigation (LAI) in promoting healing in chronic apical periodontitis.
