Study of what affects root canal treatment outcomes
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Cancer, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at which factors can change how well root canal (endodontic) treatment works. It may help improve future care by understanding what leads to better healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are being referred to an endodontics (root-canal) specialist dentist for treatment at this office.
- You can sign written consent before the treatment starts.
- You do not have advanced gum disease before the procedure.
- You have not had prior microsurgical root-end surgery on the same tooth (a prior procedure at the tooth tip).
- On X-rays before treatment, the tooth roots/ends can be clearly seen.
- You did not plan to have the treated tooth removed for reasons unrelated to root canal treatment, and you will return for follow-up visits.

This study looks at certain substances (biomarkers) in the mouth for people with a long-term infection at the root tip of a tooth (apical periodontitis). It aims to better understand markers that might help with diagnosis or treatment follow-up.
This trial compares different medicines placed inside the tooth after a failed root canal to help heal the infection at the root tip. If you have a back tooth that still has an infection even though it had a root canal years ago, this study may test which medicine works best for you.
This study follows up on all root canal treatments done in 2023 within three Swedish counties to see how they heal and how patients are doing. No new treatments or changes are involved — it's only about observing what happened.
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 examines how certain proteins in your body help teeth heal after root canal treatment. Researchers will monitor your tooth's recovery to understand what supports successful healing.
This trial compares two materials (iRoot SP and nRoot SP) used to fill root canals after infection. It aims to see which works better for healing apical periodontitis, an infection around the tooth root.
