Clinical Trial: Comparison of Ultrasonic vs 980-nm Diode Laser Irrigant Activation for Reducing Residual Bacterial DNA in Necrotic Teeth

U.S., May 27 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07607028) titled 'Comparison of Ultrasonic vs 980-nm Diode Laser Irrigant Activation for Reducing Residual Bacterial DNA in Necrotic Teeth' on May 19.

Brief Summary: This randomized clinical trial aimed to compare residual oral bacterial DNA detection after ultrasonic irrigant activation and 980-nm diode laser irrigant activation during root canal treatment of necrotic single-rooted teeth. Sixteen patients requiring endodontic treatment were randomly assigned into two groups: ultrasonic activation or 980-nm diode laser activation. Root canals were prepared using standardized chemomechanical procedures and irrigated with 3% sodium hypochlorite activate...
