Effect of Photobiomodulation on Pain and Healing of the Vertical Releasing Incision After Endodontic Microsurgery

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of Photobiomodulation (PBM) in postoperative pain after endodontic microsurgery (EMS) in patients from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Dentistry Graduate Endodontic Clinic and to assess the soft tissue healing of the vertical releasing incision (VRI) after PBM
