How teeth heal after root canal surgery
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how well teeth heal after a special type of root canal surgery (called endodontic microsurgery). The goal is to see what is normal healing so doctors can better predict success for future patients.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are generally healthy and between 18 and 65 years old.
- The tooth needing treatment has no active gum or bone disease.
- The tooth has already had a root canal and a crown or filling sealing the top.
- Standard root canal treatment cannot be done instead of surgery.
- The tooth is not broken, has no cracks in the root, and is not considered hopeless by your dentist.

This study looks at what symptoms you feel after endodontic microsurgery (a type of root-end tooth procedure). It will help doctors understand what to expect after surgery in properly selected patients.
This study tests a gum surgery technique (guided tissue regeneration) to help heal teeth that have both gum disease and a failed root canal. It looks at how well the tooth heals and how it affects your daily life.
This trial tests a new way to perform root-end surgery using a special ultrasound device. It aims to treat infections at the tip of a tooth root by making a small opening in the bone, which may help you heal faster.
This trial compares two ways of doing a special tooth surgery (endodontic microsurgery) to see if using a high-magnification microscope helps you feel better after the procedure. If you have a tooth that still hurts or stays infected after a previous root canal, this study might be for you.
This study tests whether keeping a small opening in the root tip during cleaning affects pain after a root canal. It might help you if you need a root canal on a molar tooth.
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.
