New Nanoparticle Treatment for Root Canal Therapy
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of nanoparticle (tiny medical particles) called Ferumoxytol to help treat infected tooth roots. Researchers want to see if this approach works better than standard root canal treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Generally healthy (no serious medical conditions that would prevent a regular dental visit)
- Have one tooth that needs root canal treatment and shows signs of infection on X-ray
- That tooth does not respond to heat or electrical testing (signs it may need root canal)
- Tooth has enough structure left to be properly isolated during treatment
- No previous root canal treatment on this specific tooth
- Healthy gums with no deep pockets, looseness, or swelling

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
This study tests a new paste with silver nanoparticles and two antibiotics placed inside the tooth root to treat severe infections and pain. It may help reduce pain and heal the infection better than standard treatment.
This study tests whether using a special platelet-rich concentrate (i-PRF) during a root canal retreatment can help heal infection at the tip of the root better than standard retreatment alone. It is for adults with a previously treated upper front tooth that now shows signs of infection on X-ray.
This study looks at how well a bioceramic sealing material works for tooth root-canal treatment, including cases where previous treatment did not work. If you have certain types of tooth nerve inflammation or infection, you may be eligible to help compare outcomes and improve care.
This trial compares two medications placed inside the tooth during a repeat root canal to treat infection at the root tip. It aims to find which one better fights bacteria and helps the tooth heal.
This trial compares different medicines placed inside the tooth after a failed root canal to help heal the infection at the root tip. If you have a back tooth that still has an infection even though it had a root canal years ago, this study may test which medicine works best for you.
