Abstract

Root canal treatment techniques have been enhanced by advanced technologies, with diode laser standing out for its effectiveness. However, its role in disinfection remains debated.

Objectives: To evaluate the effectiveness of root canal treatment for first and second molars with diode laser assistance in canal preparation.

Method: A controlled clinical trial with 40 patients randomly divided into two groups.

Results: Traditional treatment group: after 1 week, 85% good, 15% average, 0% poor; after 3-9 months, 60% good, 40% average, 0% poor. Diode laser treatment group: after 1 week, 95% good, 5% average, 0% poor; after 3-9 months, 85% good, 15% average, 0% poor. No significant difference between groups after 3-9 months.

Conclusion: The diode laser group showed higher success rates, 95% after 1 week and 85% after 3-9 months, compared to the traditional method with 85% after 1 week and 60% after 3-9 months.
