Comparing pain relief after root canal with or without extra tip cleaning
This trial compares two ways of cleaning the root canal during treatment for a painful, inflamed tooth. It checks whether adding a final step of clearing the tiny tip of the root reduces pain after the procedure. This could help you get better pain relief after your root canal.

This study compares two different instrument techniques used during root canal treatment to see which one leads to less pain afterward. It aims to help people with a type of tooth infection called irreversible pulpitis find a more comfortable recovery.
This study tests whether making the tip of the root canal slightly larger during a single root canal treatment helps the infection heal better and reduces pain afterward. It is for people with a dead lower back molar that has an infection around the root tip.
This study compares two common ways a dentist cleans and shapes the inside of a tooth during a root canal (the step-down technique vs. step-back technique) to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. If you have a single-rooted tooth with a dead nerve but no infection at the tip, you may be able to join.
This trial tests different methods for cleaning a tooth's root canal to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It may help people with tooth pain caused by nerve inflammation.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
This trial tests two different ultrasound methods used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain better afterwards. It focuses on people with a specific kind of tooth pain and infection.
