Comparing Two Medicines for Jaw Bone Healing After Root Canal
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two medicines (triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide) placed inside an infected tooth after a root canal to see which one helps the jaw bone heal better. If you have a single-rooted tooth with an infection that hasn't been treated before, this trial may offer a way to help your bone recover.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old and in good general health.
- You have a single-rooted tooth with an infection at the tip of the root that shows up as a dark spot on an X-ray (at least 2mm).
- The tooth has not had a root canal before and is still restorable (can be saved with a filling or crown).
