New bone window surgery for root canal infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to perform root-end surgery using a special ultrasound device. It aims to treat infections at the tip of a tooth root by making a small opening in the bone, which may help you heal faster.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a tooth infection at the root tip that has not healed despite root canal treatment.
- The infection area on an X-ray must be at least 5 millimeters across.
- A special CT scan shows that the bone over the tooth root is at least 1 millimeter thick and intact.
- You are generally healthy (controlled conditions like high blood pressure are okay, but no diabetes, liver or kidney disease, or bleeding problems).
- You are not pregnant and do not smoke.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares two ways of doing a special tooth surgery (endodontic microsurgery) to see if using a high-magnification microscope helps you feel better after the procedure. If you have a tooth that still hurts or stays infected after a previous root canal, this study might be for you.
This trial tests whether using a bone graft (allograft) together with your own blood concentrate (iPRF) and a collagen membrane helps heal the bone and gum around a tooth with a long-standing infection. It might be a good option if you have a tooth that keeps getting infected despite a root canal and has a deep pocket on the cheek side.
This study tests a gum surgery technique (guided tissue regeneration) to help heal teeth that have both gum disease and a failed root canal. It looks at how well the tooth heals and how it affects your daily life.
This trial tests if microsurgery can save front teeth and premolars with a failed root canal and an infection at the tip of the root. It may help you if you have a tooth that didn't heal after root canal treatment.
This trial compares two ultrasonic cleaning methods (regular vs. passive) for treating a chronic tooth infection called chronic apical periodontitis. It aims to see which approach is more effective at clearing the infection and saving the tooth.
This study looks at how well teeth heal after a special type of root canal surgery (called endodontic microsurgery). The goal is to see what is normal healing so doctors can better predict success for future patients.
