Summary

The present study has the objective of evaluating whether the previous therapy with low intensity laser, through its analgesic effect, can promote a greater comfort specifically for patient with pulpitis in mandibular molars. 75 patients with pain from mandibular molar pulpitis will be selected for this study (randomized and double blind) and divided into 3 groups (n = 25): Group 1 - Pulse Laser (880nm, 30mW, 3,6J / cm², 25Hz) ; Group 2 - Continuous Laser (880nm; 30mW; 3.6J / cm²); Group 3 - Placebo. The efficacy of the laser will be assessed using the VAS scale 10 minutes after the laser application, immediately before the blockade is performed.

Conditions

  • Pulpitis - Irreversible

Interventions

DEVICE

Low Level Laser - Pulse

The laser will be applied at a single point in contact, perpendicular to the surface of the tooth in a region that presents healthy enamel, towards the pulp chamber. The laser chosen was the low power diode laser with the following protocols: Group 1 (880nm, 30mW, 3.6 J / cm², 25 Hz) and Group 2 (880nm, 30mW, 3.6 J / cm²), after 10 minutes we will ask to the patient again from 0 to 3 the level of pain, to then proceed to the anesthetic phase.
