Bioceramic vs calcium hydroxide for infected molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of medication placed inside a root canal to fight infection. It may be an option if you have an infected lower molar and are in generally good health.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.

- You have not taken antibiotics or steroids in the last 3 months.

This trial tests how well a bioceramic sealer works for primary (first-time) root canal treatment in permanent back teeth. It may help by improving the chances that the treated tooth heals and stays functional.
This study compares two medicines (triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide) placed inside an infected tooth after a root canal to see which one helps the jaw bone heal better. If you have a single-rooted tooth with an infection that hasn't been treated before, this trial may offer a way to help your bone recover.
This trial tests a new bioceramic medication placed inside the root canal of infected front teeth to see if it improves healing. It is for adults with mature front teeth and an infection around the root tip, who are otherwise healthy.
This study compares two types of medications placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain better. You'll be asked about your pain levels after treatment, and researchers will measure a pain-related substance in your saliva.
This study compares two medicines placed inside a tooth to relieve pain and fight infection after root canal treatment. If you have a painful, infected lower first molar, this trial may help determine which medicine works better.
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.
