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 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.
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 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 compares two ways of treating deep cavities that cause toothache: using a special dental microscope or not. It aims to see if the microscope helps save the tooth better.
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 using a special dental microscope versus standard care for a tooth-saving procedure called pulpotomy. It aims to see if the microscope helps reduce pain after removing the damaged pulp from a deep cavity in a fully grown back tooth.
