Comparing two ways to prepare the root canal in removed teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of preparing the root canal before cleaning it. It uses removed teeth to see if one method keeps the working length (measuring how far to clean) more accurate.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a tooth that has been removed (extracted).
- The tooth must have a single root.
- The root tip must be fully formed and closed.
- The tooth must be healthy with no cracks, decay, or damage.
- The root canal must be straight or only slightly curved (less than 15 degrees).
- The root canal must be open enough for a small instrument to pass through.

This study tests two different ways to do a root canal on a tooth with an infection at the tip of the root. It aims to find which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This study tests two different root canal file designs to see which one removes debris better from the end of the root. It may help people who need a root canal on a tooth with a single root canal.
This trial compares two different ways to clean a molar tooth during a root canal when the nerve is dead. The goal is to find which method is better at removing infection without causing discomfort.
This study compares different ways of cleaning medication out of a tooth after a root canal procedure. They use a special 3D X-ray to see how well each method works, which could help improve treatment and reduce follow-up visits.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning and shaping the inside of a tooth (root canal) to see which one causes less pain afterward. It is for people with a specific type of tooth infection in a lower back molar.
This study compares two different ways of cleaning and shaping the root canal during a root canal treatment to see which method causes less pain afterward. You would be randomly assigned to receive one of the two techniques, and the goal is to make your treatment more comfortable.
