Pain after root canal cleaning methods
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two methods of cleaning a tooth's root canal to see which causes less pain after the procedure. It is for people with a specific type of tooth nerve pain (acute pulpitis) in a lower back molar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old.
- You have a painful lower back molar (first molar) with a condition called acute pulpitis, which means the nerve is inflamed.
- You are generally healthy with no other major medical conditions.
- You do not have a dead nerve, gum disease, a cracked root, or an abscess at the tip of the tooth root.

This study compares two common ways a dentist cleans and shapes the inside of a tooth during a root canal (the step-down technique vs. step-back technique) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a single-rooted tooth with a dead nerve but no infection at the tip, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning and shaping the inside of a tooth (root canal) to see which one causes less pain afterward. It is for people with a specific type of tooth infection in a lower back molar.
This study compares two different techniques for cleaning and shaping root canals (the nerve chambers inside teeth) to see which one causes less pain after treatment. If you have a dead nerve in a back lower tooth, this trial may help us understand the best way to treat it with minimal discomfort.
This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This trial compares two ways of cleaning the root canal during treatment for a painful, inflamed tooth. It checks whether adding a final step of clearing the tiny tip of the root reduces pain after the procedure. This could help you get better pain relief after your root canal.
This study compares how much pain people feel after a single root canal treatment on a lower back molar. It may help find a way to reduce discomfort after the procedure.
