Comparing two cleaning systems for root canals on dead-nerve molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different cleaning methods (GentleWave and EdgePro) used during root canal treatment on lower back teeth where the nerve has died. The goal is to see which system removes more bacteria, which may lead to better healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a permanent (adult) back tooth (molar) where the nerve has died
- You are planning to have a root canal on that tooth
- The tooth has not had a root canal before and does not have a crack in the root
- The tooth still has enough structure to be treated (no severe damage)

This study looks at how well a dental system called GentleWave cleans and disinfects inside teeth that are hard to reach during treatment planning. The results are judged by examining the removed tooth tissue under a microscope to see how effective the cleaning was.
This trial compares two different ways to clean a molar tooth during a root canal when the nerve is dead. The goal is to find which method is better at removing infection without causing discomfort.
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.
This trial compares two ways of cleaning infected root canals during a root canal procedure. The goal is to see which method better removes bacteria and improves healing.
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 study compares different cleaning solutions used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain after treatment and has fewer bacteria. If you need root canal treatment, you may be able to join and help researchers understand the best way to care for infected teeth.
