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 are generally healthy (no serious medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease).
- You have a lower molar tooth with an infection or cyst seen on an X-ray.
- You have not taken antibiotics or steroids in the last 3 months.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are not planning to start braces during the study.
- The tooth must be able to be sealed with a rubber dam (no deep gum pockets or cracks).

This trial compares two medications placed inside the tooth during a repeat root canal to treat infection at the root tip. It aims to find which one better fights bacteria and helps the tooth heal.
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 types of medication placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain and swelling better. It may help people with a dead nerve in a back tooth who have no current pain but have an infection around the root.
This study tests two types of sealing materials used in root canals (a newer bioceramic one vs. a standard resin one) to see which causes less pain after treatment. If you have an infected, pain-free tooth that needs a root canal, this trial may help guide better care.
