Cleaning effectiveness in lower molars before removal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special cleaning method called GentleWave during root canal treatment. It checks how well the cleaning works in hard-to-reach areas of lower back teeth that are scheduled for removal. If you qualify, you may help improve root canal care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be planning to have a lower back tooth (molar) removed.
- The tooth must be being removed because you and your dentist decided that is the best option, not because of a root canal treatment.
- The tooth cannot have had a root canal before.
- The tooth cannot be cracked at the root.
- You must be an adult (18 years or older).
