Gum surgery for teeth with gum disease and failed root canal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 years old or older.
- You have a deep gum pocket that reaches the tip of the root of a tooth that had a root canal that didn't work.
- The tooth did not respond to a cold or electric test (no sign of life).
- There is bone loss between your teeth.
- You are in good health (ASA-1 or ASA-2, meaning no serious medical problems).

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 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 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 two bone-graft materials—your own bone or donor bone—combined with a collagen membrane to help heal a deep infection at the tooth root where gum and bone have been lost. It aims to find which approach better repairs the damage and closes the pocket between the tooth and gum.
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.
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.
