Clinical Trial: Laser-Activated Versus Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation in Endodontic Retreatment

U.S., Oct. 30 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07903285) titled 'Laser-Activated Versus Passive Ultrasonic Irrigation in Endodontic Retreatment' on Oct. 22.

Brief Summary: This study will compare three methods of activating the final irrigation solution in reducing living bacteria inside the root canals of teeth that require root canal retreatment because of apical periodontitis, an inflammatory condition of the tissues around the root tip. The three methods are photon-induced photoacoustic streaming (PIPS), shock wave-enhanced emission photoacoustic streaming (SWEEPS), and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI). Ninety adults requiring retreatment of a single-rooted, single-canal tooth will be rand...
