Comparing sealers and activation for less tooth pain
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests different dental sealers (materials used to fill the root canal) and activation methods to see which one causes less pain after a root canal. It is for people who have a tooth infection without pain and are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old and generally healthy (or have mild health issues like well-controlled high blood pressure).
- You have a tooth that is not broken or damaged badly, and it has a single root and a single canal.
- The tooth has a small to moderate infection at the tip of the root (called apical periodontitis) but does not hurt when you tap or press on it.
- You have not taken any pain relievers or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last 4 hours.
- You do not have diabetes, a weakened immune system, are not pregnant, and have not taken antibiotics in the last month.

This trial compares two materials (iRoot SP and nRoot SP) used to fill root canals after infection. It aims to see which works better for healing apical periodontitis, an infection around the tooth root.
This trial tests if activating a sealer inside a tooth after root canal can reduce pain in the days after treatment. It may help people with a painful lower molar that still has a live nerve.
This study is comparing two different materials used to fill the tooth after a root canal to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a front tooth or a premolar and you don't have pain or swelling, this trial may help find the gentler option for you.
This study compares two types of root canal filling materials to see which one causes less pain after the procedure and helps the infection at the tooth root heal better. It focuses on upper front teeth with an active infection.
This study tests two different types of root canal filling materials (sealers) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It's for people who have a painful tooth (symptomatic irreversible pulpitis) and are already pain-free after the first visit.
This study tests two types of sealing materials used in root canals (a newer bioceramic one vs. a standard resin one) to see which causes less pain after treatment. If you have an infected, pain-free tooth that needs a root canal, this trial may help guide better care.
