Curcumin light treatment for pain after root canal

Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests a special light-based treatment (photodynamic therapy) using a natural yellow substance called curcumin to reduce pain after a root canal procedure. It is meant for people who have had a root canal before and have a chronic infection in that tooth.
