Comparing two root canal techniques for pain and success
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two methods of filling a root canal after cleaning it: a traditional lateral condensation technique and a newer warm vertical obturation technique. The goal is to see which one causes less pain afterward and has a better success rate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You have a tooth with a dead nerve (necrotic tooth) that needs root canal treatment.

This study is comparing two different materials used to fill the tooth after a root canal to see which one causes less pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a front tooth or a premolar and you don't have pain or swelling, this trial may help find the gentler option for you.
This study compares different ways to fill a tooth's root canals after cleaning them. It looks at which method causes the least pain after a single visit root canal treatment.
This study compares two common ways a dentist cleans and shapes the inside of a tooth during a root canal (the step-down technique vs. step-back technique) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a single-rooted tooth with a dead nerve but no infection at the tip, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning and shaping the inside of a tooth (root canal) to see which one causes less pain afterward. It is for people with a specific type of tooth infection in a lower back molar.
This trial compares two ways of cleaning the root canal during treatment for a painful, inflamed tooth. It checks whether adding a final step of clearing the tiny tip of the root reduces pain after the procedure. This could help you get better pain relief after your root canal.
This trial compares three different gentle motions used during a root canal to see which one causes the least pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a lower premolar that's infected, you might qualify.
