Nano gel for root canal retreatment in infected premolars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new, nano-sized antimicrobial gel to fight stubborn infections during repeat root canal treatment. It's for people with a premolar that still hurts or shows signs of infection after a previous root canal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The tooth must be a premolar (a tooth just behind your canine) with one root and one canal.
- The tooth has had a root canal before but still has signs of infection, like pain, swelling, or an abscess.
- An X-ray shows that the root canal treatment is failing (for example, a persistent infection at the root tip).
- The dentist can place a filling or crown on the tooth after treatment.
- You should not have any serious medical conditions, be pregnant or nursing, or have a weakened immune system.
- The tooth must not have cracks, a broken tool inside, or gum pockets deeper than 4mm.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a nano-scale calcium hydroxide paste works better than standard treatments for tooth infections. If you have a permanent molar with signs of infection around the root tip, this study may be an option.
This trial tests different ways to flush and clean inside a tooth during root canal treatment. It aims to see which method best reaches deep into the tooth and reduces bacteria.
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.
This study tests a new type of nanoparticle (tiny medical particles) called Ferumoxytol to help treat infected tooth roots. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than standard root canal treatments.
This study tests a special nano-sized (extremely tiny) medication placed inside a tooth after a previous root canal treatment failed. The goal is to reduce inflammation and swelling in the bone around the tooth's tip so it can heal better.
This trial tests a regenerative endodontic procedure—a newer approach to treat mature teeth with dead nerve tissue and chronic inflammation at the root tip. The goal is to help your tooth heal and potentially restore its vitality without a traditional root canal.
