To check the reduction in pain levels after low-level laser therapy in diabetic and non-diabetic patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis

Comparative evaluation of the effect of low-level laser therapy(980nm) on the success rate of inferior alveolar nerve block in mandibular posterior teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and on post-endodontic pain in diabetic and non-diabetic patients: A double blinded randomized controlled clinical trial - NIL

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Anesthetic efficacy and pain reduction would be assessed using Numerical Rating Score ScaleTimepoint: Pain levels would be assessed -pre-operatively, after inferior alveolar nerve block, access into dentin, and access into pulp chamber

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Reduction in post endodontic pain due to intervention due to low level laser therapy or sham laserTimepoint: Pain levels would be assessed using Numerical Rating Score Scale for two appointments with the time points being - 8 hours after intervention, 24 hours after intervention, 48 hours after intervention and 7 days after intervention
