Laser and natural treatments for tooth root infections in diabetics
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether diode laser (a type of focused light), gudmar (an herbal supplement), and vinegar can help treat tooth infections during root canal therapy in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if these treatments reduce infection and improve healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a special root canal medicine in people with type 2 diabetes to see if it reduces pain and flare-ups after treatment. It may help those with an infected tooth and a small abscess at the root tip feel more comfortable.
This study tests whether a less invasive tooth infection treatment (complete pulpotomy) works as well as a standard root canal for people with type 2 diabetes. It is designed for adults with a specific blood sugar level who have an infected lower back tooth.
This trial tests whether a special laser (810 nm diode) can help heal infections around the root tip after a failed root canal. It is for people who have a single-rooted tooth that needs retreatment.
This trial tests a new disinfection approach during root canal treatment for people with type 2 diabetes who have an infected front tooth. It aims to improve the effectiveness of the cleaning step, which may help treat the infection better.
This trial tests if using a special laser (810 nm diode) to disinfect the tooth after a second root canal treatment can reduce pain and inflammation. It aims to help patients whose previous root canal failed and who have a small infection around the tooth root.
This trial tests if using ultrasound and a 980 nm diode laser together can reduce pain and kill bacteria better after a root canal. It may help if you have a tooth with an infection at the tip, but no symptoms.
