Testing diclofenac gel for tooth root infections
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special anti-inflammatory gel (diclofenac sodium) placed inside the tooth can help treat an infection at the root tip. It is for adults with a restorable tooth and no allergies to the medication.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a tooth with an infection at the root tip (apical periodontitis).
- The infected tooth can be saved with a filling or crown (is restorable).
- Your tooth has fully formed roots (not immature).
- You are not allergic to diclofenac sodium (an anti-inflammatory painkiller).
- You do not have any serious health conditions that could affect treatment (medically compromised).
- Your tooth does not have any internal or external root damage (root resorption).

This study tests whether a gel containing simvastatin, a medicine usually used for cholesterol, can help fight infection and reduce inflammation inside a tooth's root canal. It might be a treatment option for people who have a failed root canal and still have a small infection at the tip of the tooth root.
This trial tests if using a special laser (810 nm diode) to disinfect the tooth after a second root canal treatment can reduce pain and inflammation. It aims to help patients whose previous root canal failed and who have a small infection around the tooth root.
This study tests whether applying a pain-relieving gel (diclofenac, sometimes with an enzyme called hyaluronidase) around the tooth after a dental procedure can reduce pain and swelling. It may help you recover more comfortably after treatment for a tooth infection.
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 compares two types of medication placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain and swelling better. It may help people with a dead nerve in a back tooth who have no current pain but have an infection around the root.
This trial tests how well different antibacterial medications placed inside the tooth during root canal treatment clear infection in people with a severe tooth abscess. It aims to find the most effective way to reduce bacteria and relieve symptoms.
