Summary

This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate post-operative pain (PP) in single-rooted teeth with asymptomatic apical periodontitis following final irrigation with sonic activation systems (EDDY and EndoActivator), with and without adjunctive 980-nm diode laser disinfection. Eighty patients were randomized into four groups: Group 1 (EDDY), Group 2 (EndoActivator), Group 3 (EDDY + laser), and Group 4 (EndoActivator + laser). PP intensity and analgesic intake were recorded at 8, 24, 48 hours, and on day 7. The study found no significant differences in PP or analgesic use among the groups, indicating that laser-assisted or different sonic activation methods did not reduce post-operative pain.
