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 materials (iRoot SP and nRoot SP) used to fill root canals after infection. It aims to see which works better for healing apical periodontitis, an infection around the tooth root.
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 tests if using ultrasonic vibrations during root canal cleaning helps fill the tooth better than the standard method. It may lead to more effective treatment for painful back teeth.
This study compares different ways to clean and disinfect a molar tooth that had a root canal before but now has a new infection. You may be a good fit if you have a back tooth with a lingering infection 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 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.
