Evaluation of efficacy of SmartLite Pro EndoActivator sonic activation using adenosine triphosphate bioluminescence meter: A randomized clinical trial
Sonic activation from the SLP-EA proved more effective in reducing the ATP values in patients diagnosed with pulp necrosis than passive irrigation. Our findings also indicate that the Endocator chairside ATP test is suitable for real-time monitoring of disinfection during root canal treatments. Furthermore, sonic activation significantly reduced postoperative pain compared to the control group.
