Comparing two root canal tools for tooth pain relief
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two different instrument techniques used during root canal treatment to see which one leads to less pain afterward. It aims to help people with a type of tooth infection called irreversible pulpitis find a more comfortable recovery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways of cleaning the root canal during treatment for a painful, inflamed tooth. It checks whether adding a final step of clearing the tiny tip of the root reduces pain after the procedure. This could help you get better pain relief after your root canal.
This study compares how much pain people feel after a single root canal treatment on a lower back molar. It may help find a way to reduce discomfort after the procedure.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
This study compares pain levels after two different root canal treatments for baby back teeth that have irreversible pulpitis (deep infection). It aims to find which method causes less discomfort afterward.
This study compares two common ways a dentist cleans and shapes the inside of a tooth during a root canal (the step-down technique vs. step-back technique) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a single-rooted tooth with a dead nerve but no infection at the tip, you may be able to join.
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.
