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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 21–45 years old
- Generally healthy with no serious medical conditions

This study tests whether using different electronic devices to measure tooth root length can reduce pain after a second root canal procedure. It is for people who had a root canal at least 4 years ago and now have a painless infection at the tip of the root.
This study tests whether using different materials (scaffolds) inside a tooth that has already been treated can help it heal better. It looks at teeth with fully grown roots that need retreatment, and checks both x-rays and clinical signs of healing.
This study compares different cleaning solutions used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain after treatment and has fewer bacteria. If you need root canal treatment, you may be able to join and help researchers understand the best way to care for infected teeth.
This study compares how well initial root canal treatments and repeat root canal retreatments work. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing of tooth infections or inflammation at the root tip.
This trial compares two types of medicine placed inside the tooth after cleaning to see which one reduces pain better. It is for adults with a dead nerve in a lower premolar tooth who are otherwise healthy.
This study compares different ways to clean and disinfect a molar tooth that had a root canal before but now has a new infection. You may be a good fit if you have a back tooth with a lingering infection that needs retreatment.
