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 a new, nano-sized antimicrobial gel to fight stubborn infections during repeat root canal treatment. It's for people with a premolar that still hurts or shows signs of infection after a previous root canal.
This trial tests whether a nano-scale calcium hydroxide paste works better than standard treatments for tooth infections. If you have a permanent molar with signs of infection around the root tip, this study may be an option.
This trial compares two types of root canal treatments for a severe tooth infection. One uses a standard medication, the other includes tiny silver particles. Both aim to reduce pain and heal the infection after a root canal procedure.
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 looks at how well a dentist’s treatment works for a combined gum and tooth infection (“endodontic-periodontal disease”) using calcium filling material, with or without extra biologic material. If you qualify, it may help improve the health of deep gum pockets and support better healing around affected tooth roots.
