Comparing medicines for failed root canal treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares different medicines placed inside the tooth after a failed root canal to help heal the infection at the root tip. If you have a back tooth that still has an infection even though it had a root canal years ago, this study may test which medicine works best for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old and otherwise healthy (no major medical problems).
- You have at least one molars (back tooth) with a root canal that failed—meaning the infection at the tip of the root is still there or came back.
- Your first root canal was done at least 4 years ago, or your tooth still hurts, is tender when touched, or has a pimple on the gum.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 3 months or painkillers in the last 7 days before treatment.
- Your tooth does not have deep gum pockets, cracks, or other problems that would make retreatment impossible.

This trial compares two types of medicine placed inside the tooth after cleaning to see which one reduces pain better. It is for adults with a dead nerve in a lower premolar tooth who are otherwise healthy.
This study compares two drugs placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one works better for pain. One is a standard drug (calcium hydroxide) and the other is a mix of three antibiotics. The goal is to find a more effective way to reduce pain after the procedure.
This trial tests two medications placed inside a tooth during root canal retreatment to see which works better at fighting infection. If you need retreatment on a single tooth with an infected root tip area, you may be able to join.
This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This trial compares two types of root canal treatments for a severe tooth infection. One uses a standard medication, the other includes tiny silver particles. Both aim to reduce pain and heal the infection after a root canal procedure.
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.
