Healing of root hole repair using different materials
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests how well different materials help heal a small hole (perforation) in the root of a lower molar tooth. It may help if you have this type of tooth injury and are generally healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a small to medium sized hole in the root of a lower back tooth.
- You are between 15 and 50 years old.
- You are generally healthy and have no major medical problems.
- You do not have advanced gum disease (periodontitis).
- The tooth with the hole can still be repaired and kept.
- You are not allergic to any medications used in the treatment.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two materials used to cap the nerve of a deep cavity in a molar tooth: one made from your own blood (platelet rich fibrin) and a standard material (mineral trioxide aggregate). The goal is to see which one helps the tooth heal better over a year.
This study compares two types of filling material (bioceramic putty MTA and regular MTA) used in a pulpotomy—a procedure to save a decayed young permanent molar by removing the infected nerve part and sealing the rest. It aims to see which material works better for keeping the tooth healthy and helping its roots develop normally.
This trial tests whether tiny holes made in the bone (micro-osteoperforation) can speed up moving your upper back molars backward using a device anchored to bone. It is for adults with a specific bite problem (Class II on both sides) who are healthy and have all their teeth.
This study compares three materials used to protect the nerve inside a deep cavity. If you have a deep cavity in a live tooth, you may be able to join and help find which material works best.
This trial tests a new type of self-hardening tooth-colored filling material that may help repair and protect deep cavities in back teeth. It is looking for people with two molars that need deep fillings, to see if the material stays strong and helpful over time.
This trial compares two different filling materials used after root canal treatment on dead teeth. Researchers want to see which material causes less pain and swelling afterward.
