Effect of diode laser in the treatment of 78 patients with sinus chronic apical abscess

Abstract

PURPOSE To explore the effect of diode laser in the treatment of sinus chronic apical abscess. METHODS A total of 78 patients with sinus chronic apical abscess were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 39 cases in each group. Patients in the control group were treated with conventional root canal preparation and calcium hydroxide sealant. After conventional root canal preparation, the canals in the experimental group were disinfected with diode laser and then calcium hydroxide sealant. SPSS 19.0 software package was used for data analysis. RESULTS Of 39 patients in the experimental group, only 1 sinus was not healed,the total effective rate was 97.44%;Of 39 patients in the control group,9 sinuses were not healed, the total effective rate was 76.92%. The difference between the two groups was statistically significant. CONCLUSIONS The results show that the effect of diode laser in the treatment of sinus chronic apical abscess is better, which is worthy of wide application.
