Extra cleaning for infected root canals
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older.
- You have a lower premolar tooth with a single root that is infected at the tip and the nerve is dead.
- The tooth has not had any previous root canal or other dental procedures.
- You do not have diabetes, a weakened immune system, or take corticosteroids.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months.

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.
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.
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 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 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 trial compares two treatments for very deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a less invasive partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) works as well as a full root canal. It may help you keep your tooth without needing a full root canal.
