Summary

Statement of the problem: Postoperative pain following endodontic treatment is a common complication that might require analgesics for pain relief. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and Intracanal Cryotherapy (ICCT) are both recommended as non-pharmacological and non-invasive treatment modalities for management of painful situations. Aim of the study: This study is conducted to clinically evaluate and compare the effect of both LLLT and ICCT on post-endodontic pain (PEP) over 5 days in molars with symptomatic apical periodontitis (SAP) using visual analog scale (VAS). Materials \& Methods: This parallel arm, randomized clinical trial will involve 95 systemically free patients with SAP in molars. The patients will be randomly allocated to 5 equal groups as follows: control (no intervention), placebo (mock laser therapy), LLLT, ICCT and a combination of both. Postoperative pain levels after 6 hrs, 12 hrs, on 2nd day and 5th day are going to be assessed on the VAS and shall be noted. Data collected will be tabulated and statistically analysed.
