Comparing two root filling materials for second root canal treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two different root canal filling materials used during a second root canal treatment (retreatment) for teeth with an infection at the root tip. The goal is to see if one material is better at healing the infection and saving the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 18 years old and in good overall health.
- You need a tooth that previously had a root canal but now needs a second root canal treatment.
- The infection at the root tip must be 10 mm or smaller on an x-ray.
- The root canal opening must be small enough (size 50 or less) for the treatment.
- You must not have gum disease or loose teeth, and you must not be a smoker.

This study compares three materials used to protect the nerve inside a deep cavity. If you have a deep cavity in a live tooth, you may be able to join and help find which material works best.
This study compares two ways of placing a special filling material (MTA) at the root tip during a surgical procedure called apicoectomy (removing the tip of the root). One method is done from the top of the tooth (orthograde), and the other is done from the bottom (retrograde). The goal is to see which method works better for saving a tooth with a persistent infection after a root canal.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep cavities in permanent molars without causing pain. The goal is to see which material better protects the tooth's nerve and helps the tooth heal, potentially avoiding the need for a root canal.
This study tests two different ways to do a root canal on a tooth with an infection at the tip of the root. It aims to find which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This study tests a new material for filling root canals after cleaning out an infection. It aims to see if the material helps the tooth heal successfully. You may qualify if you have an infected tooth that has never had a root canal before.
This trial compares two materials (iRoot SP and nRoot SP) used to fill root canals after infection. It aims to see which works better for healing apical periodontitis, an infection around the tooth root.
