Comparing two medicines for jaw infection after root canal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two medications used to treat jaw bone infections after a root canal. If you have an infected tooth that needs a root canal, this trial could help determine which treatment works better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 65 years old and generally healthy.
- You must have a tooth (with a single root) that has an infected nerve and an active infection at the root tip.
- The infection must show up on an X-ray as a dark spot at least 2 millimeters wide.

- You cannot be pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes.
