Status: Recruiting
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Device
Study Type: Interventional
Study Phase: Not Applicable
SUMMARY
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Photobiomodulation (PBM) in postoperative pain after endodontic microsurgery (EMS) in patients from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Dentistry Graduate Endodontic Clinic and to assess the soft tissue healing of the vertical releasing incision (VRI) after PBM

Participants
Target number of participants: 40
Treatments
Experimental: EMS and PBM treatment
Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy will be performed using a 660 nm diode laser (SiroLaser Advance Plus, Dentsply Sirona Inc, Charlotte, North Carolina, USA) following the outline of the incision flap in a contact mode. Each site will be irradiated for 25 seconds with an energy density of 10 J/cm2 (irradiation mode).
Sham_comparator: EMS and PBM sham treatment
The laser tip will be placed following the outline of the incision flap in a contact mode but without activating it (no irradiation).
