This case report presents the successful application of diode laser technology in the management of a pulp polyp in a primary molar, showcasing its efficacy in both excision of the proliferative tissue and subsequent canal disinfection. An eight-year-old patient with a symptomatic primary molar exhibiting a pulp polyp was selected for this intervention. The diode laser, with its specific wavelength and precise tissue interaction, allowed for a minimally invasive and efficient removal of the pulp polyp. Additionally, the laser was utilized for thorough disinfection of the root canals, targeting bacterial pathogens while preserving surrounding healthy tissue. The case was monitored over a three-month follow-up period, demonstrating favorable clinical and radiographic outcomes. This report emphasizes the potential of diode laser technology as a feasible adjunct in the treatment of pulp polyps in primary molars, showcasing its benefits in terms of reduced invasiveness, enhanced precision, and effective canal disinfection in pediatric endodontics.
