Test GentleWave cleaning during difficult root canal extractions
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how well a dental system called GentleWave cleans and disinfects inside teeth that are hard to reach during treatment planning. The results are judged by examining the removed tooth tissue under a microscope to see how effective the cleaning was.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have the tooth extracted by your own choice (not because of another dental procedure).
- Your extracted tooth must be an untreated mandibular molar you are having removed.
- The tooth should not have a root fracture.
- The tooth must not have had a root canal treatment before.
- Your tooth should not have severe loss of tooth structure.

This study compares two different cleaning methods (GentleWave and EdgePro) used during root canal treatment on lower back teeth where the nerve has died. The goal is to see which system removes more bacteria, which may lead to better healing.
This study tests a special cleaning system called GentleWave for root canals. It may help treat infected teeth more gently and effectively than traditional methods.
This study compares different ways to clean and disinfect a molar tooth that had a root canal before but now has a new infection. You may be a good fit if you have a back tooth with a lingering infection that needs retreatment.
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.
This trial tests different ways to activate the final cleaning solution in a root canal to see which kills bacteria best. It may help you if you need a root canal on a single-rooted tooth with healthy gums.
This trial tests different ways to flush and clean inside a tooth during root canal treatment. It aims to see which method best reaches deep into the tooth and reduces bacteria.
