Root Canal Retreatment Dressing Comparison Study
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares different medicines placed inside root canals between appointments to help heal infections. You'll have a tooth retreated (cleaned and filled again) and help researchers find which dressing works best.
