Abstract | INTRODUCTION: METHODS: RESULTS: All of the measured parameters were significantly reduced in group L (P < .05), whereas the level of pain on percussion, CGRP, and MMP-8 were significantly reduced in group C (P < .05). The 1440-nm Nd:YAG laser had significantly better effect on the relief of pain on percussion and the reduction of substance P, CGRP, and MMP-8 levels. The visual analog scale scores of perceived pain correlated with pain-related neuropeptides and inflammatory cytokine levels in root canal exudates. CONCLUSIONS:
