| Abstract |
| Aim of the study: To evaluate the clinical and antimicrobial effect of Diode laser in comparison to chemical disinfection in management of patients with deep carious lesions. Materials & Methods: this randomized controlled clinical trial study was carried on 32 patients with an age range of 18-46 years. All patients were selected and randomly divided into 4 equal groups; Control group, Diode laser application with 0.5 Watt group, 0.1 Watt group and Chemical disinfection group. Preoperative clinical assessment and radiographs were performed before intervention and then the patients received their treatment and final restorations. Follow-up with clinical and Cone beam computed tomography assessments was performed after three and six months. Clinical and Radiographic data were collected, tabulated and statistically analyzed to compare between the success rates of diode laser, chemical disinfection and conventional selective caries removal. Results: results of clinical assessment for all groups have shown success rate of 100%. The remaining dentin thickness was significantly increased in all four study groups after application of intervention. Also the remaining dentin density showed significant increase in four study groups, where group A2 (application of Diode laser with an output power of 0.1 Watt) was significantly higher than group Ao (control), with no significant difference between other groups. Conclusions: Diode laser can show promising results in terms of Cavity Disinfection & pulpal tissue biomodulation . |
