Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate and compare the clinical and patient-reported outcomes of passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and laser-activated irrigation (LAI) versus conventional syringe irrigation in adult patients undergoing non-surgical root canal treatment on mature permanent teeth, and to identify the key factors that influence these outcomes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Success and survival rate, Post-operative pain, OHIP-14 Score | "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year" | 1. Success rate At the 1-year follow-up visit, the dentist will perform a clinical and radiographic examination, A calibrated researcher that blinded to the treatment procedures and irrigation activation methods, will interpret the radiographs using the criteria established by Friedman and Mor (2004) \- Survival rate = Tooth is functional and remains in the mouth. 2. Post-operative pain will be assessed using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS), with scores recorded before treatment (baseline) and after complete treatment. In cases treated over two visits, pain scores will be record 3. Oral health-related quality of life will be evaluated using the OHIP-14 questionnaires recorded before treatment (baseline) and after complete treatment. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Prognostic factors affecting treatment outcomes | "From enrollment to the end of treatment at 1 year" | Some factors associated to treatment outcomes will be analyzed such as age, gender, tooth type, tooth diagnosis, activated irrigation methods, quality of root canal treatment, quality of coronal restoration |
