What this Trial Is About
This study evaluates the effectiveness of photobiomodulation (PBM) in conjunction with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) pulpotomy for treating irreversible pulpitis in immature first permanent molars. PBM, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT), is used to enhance healing, reduce inflammation, and manage pain in young teeth. The randomized clinical trial involves 72 children aged 6-9 years, divided into two groups: one receiving MTA pulpotomy alone and the other receiving MTA pulpotomy with PBM. Clinical and radiographic outcomes will be assessed at intervals over 15 months. This research aims to determine the combined therapy's efficacy in improving pulp healing and reducing post-operative discomfort compared to MTA alone.
