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 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 different cleaning solutions used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain after treatment and has fewer bacteria. If you need root canal treatment, you may be able to join and help researchers understand the best way to care for infected teeth.
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 trial tests two different ultrasound methods used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain better afterwards. It focuses on people with a specific kind of tooth pain and infection.
This trial tests if a special ultrasonic cleaning method (PUI) during root canal treatment reduces pain after the procedure. It may help people with a specific type of tooth infection (symptomatic irreversible pulpitis) in a lower premolar.
