High magnification microscope for tooth root surgery
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old.
- You have a tooth that had a root canal in the past but still hurts or is infected, with a pocket of infection at least 5 mm wide.
- You are generally healthy (no serious health problems like diabetes, high blood pressure, liver or kidney disease, or bleeding issues).
- You are not pregnant.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study compares two ways of placing a special filling material (MTA) at the root tip during a surgical procedure called apicoectomy (removing the tip of the root). One method is done from the top of the tooth (orthograde), and the other is done from the bottom (retrograde). The goal is to see which method works better for saving a tooth with a persistent infection after a root canal.
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 trial tests whether a special light treatment, called photobiomodulation, can help reduce pain and speed up healing after a specific type of dental surgery on the root of a tooth. The surgery involves a small cut in the gum, and the light may help the gum recover faster.
This study compares two ways of treating a deep cavity that has reached the nerve of an adult tooth. It looks at whether using a special dental microscope during a partial nerve removal (called a pulpotomy) improves the outcome compared to doing it without the microscope. This might help save the tooth and avoid a root canal.
This study looks at what symptoms you feel after endodontic microsurgery (a type of root-end tooth procedure). It will help doctors understand what to expect after surgery in properly selected patients.
