Abstract
Objective: the purpose of the study is to evaluate the effect of single high dose Epic x diode laser on several types of facial and dental pain. Methods: a total of 10 patients were diagnosed with orofacial pain, 8 of them were suffering from myofacial pain, while the other two patients, one of them had pulpitis and the other one was suffering from pericoronitis. The patients were treated using Epic x diode laser with the following settings (940 nm wavelength, 4 w, 1200J). Each patient was treated in a single session. The headpiece was directed toward the involved symptomatic area and the overall pain and discomfort were analyzed into a scale of six degrees including before and after the treatment. Results had 40% of the cases are with complete resolution of pain and 60% of the cases had partial improvement, and the sessions were delivered as a single session of 300 seconds irradiation for each patient and the degrees of improvement were (1,2,3) on the pain scale. Conclusion: Diode laser (Epic x) is effective in reducing the orofacial pain with single session treatment
