Temperature Rise Caused by Short or Long-wavelengths (NCT06418958)

In Vivo Temperature Changes Caused by Exposure to Short- and Long-wavelengths

๐ŸŸข Recruiting Observational / Diagnostic โš™๏ธ Medical Device Protocol Sponsor: University of Florida

๐Ÿฉบ Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)

Red light has been shown to be less harmful than blue light in vitro and in vivo. Although red light has been already introduced in the market and is currently being used in patients for several reasons, no data exist on the use of red light applied to restorative procedures. This study aims to specifically measure the in vivo temperature rise in simulated restorative procedures using blue light (standard) and red light and its post-operative sensitivity rates.
