Testing endodontic retreatment in one versus two visits
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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).
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be able to read, understand, and sign informed consent (and get a copy).
- You must agree to follow all study instructions and visit schedules.
- Your case must be a root-canal retreatment due to prior treatment failure.
- Your tooth must have apical periodontitis, meaning an infection/inflammation around the root tip.
- The tooth must be single-root or two-root (single or bi-radicular) for treatment here.

This trial compares two types of medicine placed inside the tooth to see which one causes less pain and fewer complications after retreatment for a failed root canal. It is for people with a single-root tooth that needs re-treatment.
This study compares how well initial root canal treatments and repeat root canal retreatments work. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing of tooth infections or inflammation at the root tip.
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.
This trial compares pain levels and a protein linked to inflammation (MMP‑9) when a root canal on an infected, dead tooth is done in one visit versus two visits. The goal is to see which approach may be more comfortable for you.
This study tests whether using different electronic devices to measure tooth root length can reduce pain after a second root canal procedure. It is for people who had a root canal at least 4 years ago and now have a painless infection at the tip of the root.
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.
