Root canal treatment vs. retreatment success study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares how well initial root canal treatments and repeat root canal retreatments work. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing of tooth infections or inflammation at the root tip.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study compares different cleaning solutions used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain after treatment and has fewer bacteria. If you need root canal treatment, you may be able to join and help researchers understand the best way to care for infected teeth.
This study compares doing tooth root-canal retreatment in one visit versus two visits. It’s meant to see which approach leads to better outcomes for teeth with infection at the root tip (apical periodontitis).
This study tests whether using different electronic devices to measure tooth root length can reduce pain after a second root canal procedure. It is for people who had a root canal at least 4 years ago and now have a painless infection at the tip of the root.
This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This study compares different medicines placed inside root canals between appointments to help heal infections. You'll have a tooth retreated (cleaned and filled again) and help researchers find which dressing works best.
This study compares different ways to clean and disinfect a molar tooth that had a root canal before but now has a new infection. You may be a good fit if you have a back tooth with a lingering infection that needs retreatment.
