Gotu kola gel for root canal infections
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a natural gel made from asiaticoside (a compound from the Gotu kola plant) placed inside your root canal after cleaning. This gel may help reduce infection and inflammation better than standard medicines.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a single-rooted tooth with a dead nerve (pulp necrosis) and an infection at the root tip.

- You do not have any condition that affects your whole body (like diabetes or a weak immune system).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a natural anti-inflammatory medicine called glycyrrhizin (from licorice root) used inside the tooth during root canal treatment. It aims to see if it helps kill bacteria and reduce infection better than standard medications.
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 compares different medicines placed inside root canals between appointments to help heal infections. You'll have a tooth retreated (cleaned and filled again) and help researchers find which dressing works best.
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.
This study compares two different gels placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one works better at killing bacteria and reducing pain afterward.
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.
