Recruiting studies
- NCT07166679Recruiting
Larger root canal tip for healing infection in back molars
This study tests whether making the tip of the root canal slightly larger during a single root canal treatment helps the infection heal better and reduces pain afterward. It is for people with a dead lower back molar that has an infection around the root tip.
RohtakAges 18–65 - NCT07206108Recruiting
Crown vs post-core for large tooth repairs after root canal
This trial compares two ways to fix large holes in premolars after root canal treatment: a modified crown attached to the remaining tooth, or a personalized post-and-crown. It looks for people with good oral health whose tooth has enough strong structure left for a successful repair.
ChinaAges 18–65 - NCT04527705Recruiting
Testing endodontic retreatment in one versus two visits
This study compares doing tooth root-canal retreatment in one visit versus two visits. It’s meant to see which approach leads to better outcomes for teeth with infection at the root tip (apical periodontitis).
Sant Cugat del Vallès, BarcelonaAges 18–75 - NCT04605445Recruiting
One vs two dentist visits for infected root canals
This study compares whether treating an infected, dead tooth in one visit works as well as using two visits. It may help you and your dentist choose the simplest schedule while still clearing infection and supporting healing.
Vaxjo, Kronoberg CountyAges 18 years+ - NCT06569329Recruiting
Extra cleaning for infected root canals
This study tests if extra cleaning steps after a standard root canal can remove more bacteria from an infected tooth. It is for adults with a dead nerve and an infection at the root tip in a single-rooted premolar that has never been treated before.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–95 - NCT07048028Recruiting
Chitosan rinse for root canals in premolars
This study tests a new natural mouth rinse (chitosan) during root canal treatment for lower premolar teeth. Researchers want to see if it helps clean the tooth better than standard treatment.
Ordu, AltınorduAges 18 years+ - NCT07671326Recruiting
Bioceramic vs calcium hydroxide for infected molars
This study compares two types of medication placed inside a root canal to fight infection. It may be an option if you have an infected lower molar and are in generally good health.
Istanbul, IstanbulAges 18–65 - NCT05763420Enrolling by invitation
Testing a bioceramic root-canal sealer in adult molar teeth
This trial tests how well a bioceramic sealer works for primary (first-time) root canal treatment in permanent back teeth. It may help by improving the chances that the treated tooth heals and stays functional.
Janūb as Surrah, Hawalli GovernateAges 18–65 - NCT07400471RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Pain relief before root canal: a medicine combination
This trial tests whether a combination of pain medicines given before a root canal can lower pain afterward. It is for people who have moderate to severe tooth pain and are healthy enough for standard treatment.
Chittagong, ChattogramAges 18 years+ - NCT07198919Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Pain relief during root canal for infected tooth: gel vs. antibiotic paste
This trial compares two medicines placed inside a tooth after root canal cleaning to see which reduces pain better between appointments. If you have an infected single-root tooth and are between 16-45 years old, you may be able to join.
Karachi, SindhAges 16–45 - NCT07343804Recruiting
Dental root canal and heart disease risk study
This trial tests whether treating a tooth infection with a root canal can lower blood markers linked to heart risk in people with stable heart disease.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 30 years+ - NCT07549373Recruiting
Laser and natural treatments for tooth root infections in diabetics
This study tests whether diode laser (a type of focused light), gudmar (an herbal supplement), and vinegar can help treat tooth infections during root canal therapy in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if these treatments reduce infection and improve healing.
Noida, Uttar PradeshAges 25–60

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for root canal infection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 12 recruiting root canal infection studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a root canal infection trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a root canal infection trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
