EFFECT of USE of DIODE LASER and 3% NaOCl for HEMOSTASIS in DIRECT PULP CAPPING on OUTCOME in MILD and MODERATE PULPITS

after pulp exposure bleeding was control by placing a cotton pellet soaked with 3%NaOCl over the pulpal wound upto 1 minutes.If hemostasis was not achieve with in 1mins we again use soaked cotton pellet of 3% NaOCL for another 1 mint until the hemostasis acheived. Tooth with excessive uncontrollable bleeding even after 5 mins was excluded from the study; however, definite treatment was provided to the patient.The time used to control bleeding was recorded for each tooth by using stop watch.Once hemostasis is achieved, exposed pulp was capped with biodentine.

Hemostasis was achieved by exposure to Primo dental diode laser by medency (980 nm), at 0.5 W(medency Primo laser) .During laser application patients, operator and assistant were asked to wear protective eye shields.The laser energy of wavelength 980 nm introduced to the exposure site through a 400 µm optical fiber in a non contact mode for 2-3 seconds at exposure site for three times at 10s time interval to achieve complete hemostasis.For disinfection same diode laser of wavelength 980nm with energy set at 1W used in non contact mode in circular motion in the cavity .Biodentine was used as pulp capping agent.
