Pain after root canal treatment with different tools
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning a tooth's root canal to see which causes less pain during and after treatment. It is for people with severe tooth pain in an upper premolar.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an upper premolar (the tooth before your molars) with two roots.
- The tooth has been hurting on its own and the pain is rated 4 to 6 out of 10.
- The tooth is fully grown with a closed tip.
- The tooth looks normal on an x-ray and can be fixed with a filling or crown.
- You are able to understand the study information and rate your pain.
