Laser combo for pain and infection after root canal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if using ultrasound and a 980 nm diode laser together can reduce pain and kill bacteria better after a root canal. It may help if you have a tooth with an infection at the tip, but no symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a fully grown tooth with a closed root tip
- The tooth has one root with a simple canal shape
- You do not have any pain or symptoms from the tooth
- You have a small infection (up to 5 mm) at the root tip seen on x-ray
- The tooth can be fixed with a filling or crown
- You do not have any serious health conditions

This study tests whether applying cold therapy or a steroid medicine inside the tooth after a root canal can reduce pain after the procedure. If you have a painful, infected tooth needing a root canal, this might help you feel more comfortable afterward.
This trial tests if using a special laser (810 nm diode) to disinfect the tooth after a second root canal treatment can reduce pain and inflammation. It aims to help patients whose previous root canal failed and who have a small infection around the tooth root.
This trial tests whether a special laser (810 nm diode) can help heal infections around the root tip after a failed root canal. It is for people who have a single-rooted tooth that needs retreatment.
This study compares two methods of cleaning infected root canals to see which one reduces pain better after the procedure. It may help find a more comfortable treatment for people with tooth infections.
This study tests if using a laser is better than the usual method for treating painful, inflamed teeth that still have a live nerve. The goal is to save the tooth and reduce pain without removing the nerve entirely.
This study tests whether using a special ultrasonic device during a root canal can reduce pain after the procedure. It may help people with a specific type of tooth pain feel better sooner.
