Comparing pain relief rinses after root canal
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests whether rinsing the tooth with either tramadol (a pain reliever) or dexamethasone (a steroid) after a root canal reduces pain better. It is for people with a single-rooted tooth that has a very painful, inflamed nerve.
