Interventions
GentleWave
Root canals will be shaped using a Vortex Blue and ProTaper gold rotary system. Once the root canals have been shaped, the GentleWave procedure will be performed
EdgePro laser irrigation
Root canals will be shaped using a Vortex Blue and ProTaper gold rotary system. Once the root canals have been shaped, the EdgePro procedure will be performed
Irrisafe passive ultrasonic irrigation
Root canals will be shaped using a Vortex Blue and ProTaper gold rotary system. Once the root canals have been shaped, the passive ultrasonic irrigation procedure will be performed
