Testing Medications Inside Root Canals to Reduce Pain
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests different medications placed inside a tooth's root canal during treatment to see which one best reduces pain afterward. If you have a tooth with a dead nerve (necrotic pulp), this trial might help determine the best way to manage your pain during the healing process.
