Boswellia vs standard medicine for root canal infection
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a natural gum resin (Boswellia) placed inside the tooth during root canal treatment can fight infection better than standard medications. It may be a good option for people with a single-rooted tooth infection who are otherwise healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months.
- You do not have a long-term health condition.
