Laser and cold therapy for painful back tooth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a low-level laser and cold therapy together helps heal a back tooth that has deep decay and is causing severe pain. The goal is to save the tooth and avoid a root canal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
