Hyaluronic acid gel for infected back tooth surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether putting hyaluronic acid (a natural gel-like substance) into the bone during root-end surgery helps heal infections in first molars (back teeth) that didn't get better after a root canal. It may be a good option if you have a small, stubborn infection and your gums are healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
