Selenium vs. calcium hydroxide for dental pain and infection
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two medicines placed inside a tooth to relieve pain and fight infection after root canal treatment. If you have a painful, infected lower first molar, this trial may help determine which medicine works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 40 years old.
- You have a lower first molar (back tooth) that is infected and hurts when tapped.

This study compares two drugs placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one works better for pain. One is a standard drug (calcium hydroxide) and the other is a mix of three antibiotics. The goal is to find a more effective way to reduce pain after the procedure.
This trial tests if a melatonin gel placed inside the tooth can reduce pain after root canal treatment. It compares melatonin to the standard calcium hydroxide paste. The goal is to see which works better for pain, bacterial reduction, and tissue healing.
This study compares two root canal cleaning solutions (calcium hypochlorite vs. sodium hypochlorite) to see which one causes less pain and reduces bacteria better in lower premolars with dead nerves. If you have a tooth that needs a root canal and is not infected severely, you may qualify.
This study compares two types of medication placed inside a root canal to fight infection. It may be an option if you have an infected lower molar and are in generally good health.
