Chitosan rinse for root canals in premolars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new natural mouth rinse (chitosan) during root canal treatment for lower premolar teeth. Researchers want to see if it helps clean the tooth better than standard treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are healthy overall and agree to be in the study.
- The tooth that needs treatment is a lower premolar (the small back tooth just behind the canine).
- The tooth does not respond to cold or small electrical tests (meaning the nerve is likely dead).
- You have not taken any antibiotics in the last 2 weeks.
- You have not had a previous root canal on this tooth.
- You are not pregnant.

This trial compares two ways of cleaning infected root canals during a root canal procedure. The goal is to see which method better removes bacteria and improves healing.
This trial tests a special chitosan dressing used during a partial root canal treatment (pulpotomy) for immature permanent front teeth. It may help the tooth continue to develop and heal without the need for more complex procedures.
This trial compares different ways of heating a special rinsing solution (sodium hypochlorite) inside a tooth during root canal treatment. The goal is to see which method works better at killing germs and reducing pain after the procedure. This study is for people who need a root canal on a single-rooted tooth that is already dead (no nerve pain).
This trial tests a new way to clean deep gum pockets at the base of molars using a chitosan brush and enamel proteins. It's for people who still have gum problems after standard treatment.
This trial tests whether two new dental rinses, used with special activation methods, can reduce pain and complications after treating teeth with severe pulpitis (tooth nerve inflammation). It may help people with multiple-root teeth who need root canal treatment.
This study tests a new treatment for infected dental implants using a small brush made of chitosan (a natural material from shellfish). It aims to clean the implant surface and help the infection heal.
