| The clinical and radiographic evolution evaluation, verified by the periapical index method (scoring system to assess periapical bone repair), high rates of periapical healing (97%) were observed in both therapeutic groups in the 12-month follow-up.;In the evaluation of clinical and radiographic evolution, the comparison between the control group and the group using photodynamic therapy (TF group), verified by the periapical index method (scoring system to assess periapical bone repair), no additional benefit was observed over conventional therapy alone in promoting periapical healing. At 12 months, the frequency of the lowest scores (1 and 2) in the control group was 93.3% and in the TF group, 100%. | — |
