Root canal technique for reducing pain in molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two root canal techniques to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It is for people who need a root canal on a back tooth (molar) that has an infected nerve and is causing pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You are generally healthy (or have mild health conditions that are well controlled).
- You have one permanent molar tooth that needs a first-time root canal because the nerve has died and the root is infected.
- You have not taken pain relievers in the 72 hours before the root canal.
- You are not pregnant and do not have serious uncontrolled health conditions like diabetes or a weakened immune system.
