Stem cells for healing after root canal in kids
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if a special stem cell treatment applied during a root canal can help heal the infection and reduce pain after the procedure. It is for children and teens aged 9 to 15 who have an infected back tooth that still has an open root tip.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 9 and 15 years old
- You have a back tooth (molar) with an infection at the root (apical periodontitis)
- The tooth's root tip is still open (not fully formed)
- You are generally healthy and have no serious medical conditions
- You have not used antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or painkillers in the last two weeks
- You do not plan to get a crown or other prosthetic restoration on that tooth

This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
This trial tests a new approach to help injured, still-growing permanent teeth heal and continue to develop naturally. It may be an option if your child has a traumatized tooth with an infection and the root is not yet fully formed.
This study compares two types of medication placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain and swelling better. It may help people with a dead nerve in a back tooth who have no current pain but have an infection around the root.
This study compares different cleaning methods for re-treating a molar that still has an infection after a previous root canal. The goal is to find the best way to disinfect the tooth and improve healing.
This study tests a cold treatment applied inside the tooth during root canal therapy to reduce pain and improve healing for people with infected back teeth.
