To compare the effect of Nd:YAP laser and Hoshino's triple antibiotic paste on root canal disinfection in the treatment of pulp revascularization, and to provide reference for root canal disinfection in dental pulp revascularization.Forty immature permanent teeth diagnosed as acute or chronic periapical periodontitis were included. The periapical lesions and root development were recorded. The cases were divided into 2 groups: the control group and the Nd:YAP laser disinfection experimental group. Clinical examination and X-ray evaluation of each case were performed after treatment. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 19.0 software package.Two cases showed symptoms in control group 1 week after treatment, while 4 cases had symptoms in the experimental group. The clinical symptoms disappeared in the control group 2 weeks after treatment, while 1 case still had symptoms in the experimental group. There was no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05). Clinical evaluation at 18 months of follow-up showed that 2 and 3 cases had recurrent symptoms in the control group and the experimental group, respectively; continuous development of the root was noted in 12 and 10 cases on X-ray film in the control and experimental group, respectively, while 3 and 4 teeth had no obvious root development in the control and experimental group, respectively. There was no significant difference between the control group and the experimental group (P>0.05).Nd:YAP laser can be used for effective root canal disinfection without obvious effect on the prognosis of dental pulp revascularization.
