Comparing two ways to clean a dead nerve during a root canal
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two different ways to clean a molar tooth during a root canal when the nerve is dead. The goal is to find which method is better at removing infection without causing discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a molar tooth that is recommended for a root canal because the nerve inside the tooth is dead (necrotic).
- The tooth must have a solid crown (no large breaks or missing walls).
- You must not have taken antibiotics in the last 3 months.
- You cannot have diabetes or a weakened immune system.
- You cannot be pregnant.
