Bite force after root canal treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at how your bite force changes after a root canal treatment on a back tooth. It may help understand if the tooth gets back to normal strength.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a premolar or molar tooth that needs a root canal because the nerve is dead or infected.
- The tooth does not have a full crown or cap on it.
- There is enough healthy tooth left to place a filling or crown after the root canal.
- You have the teeth next to the treated tooth and the tooth above or below it to bite against.
- You have not taken painkillers within 6 hours before the check-up.
- You do not have jaw joint problems, loose teeth, or cracks going deep into the tooth.
