Comparing two dental cleaning methods for chronic root infection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two ultrasonic cleaning methods (regular vs. passive) for treating a chronic tooth infection called chronic apical periodontitis. It aims to see which approach is more effective at clearing the infection and saving the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 59 years old.
- You have at least one permanent tooth with a long-term infection at the root tip (chronic periapical periodontitis).
- The infected tooth is fully developed (root growth complete).
- You are willing to attend follow-up visits as scheduled.
- You do not have any allergies to dental materials or medications needed for the procedure.
- You do not have severe tooth damage, a root fracture, internal/external root resorption, or gum disease (periodontitis).

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 study compares two ways of cleaning and filling root canals during a root canal treatment to see which works better at sealing the tooth and reaching tiny side canals. It may help improve the success of your root canal and reduce the chance of reinfection.
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 compares different cleaning methods for re-treating a molar that still has an infection after a previous root canal. The goal is to find the best way to disinfect the tooth and improve healing.
This study compares two ways of cleaning the inside of a tooth during a root canal to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you have a severe toothache in a front tooth, this trial may help you get treatment while contributing to better pain control.
