Conditions

pulpitis., diseases of the pulp and periapical tissues

Interventions

Ninety mandibular molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis will be selected and randomly divided into three groups (n = 30): Group 1, control (CG)
Group 2, photobiomodulation (PBM)
and Group 3, photobiomodulation combined with photodynamic therapy (PBM + PDT). All channels will be instrumented by the Reciproc system in a single visit. Pain incidence and intensity will be assesse
