Comparing root canal motions for less pain
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares three different gentle motions used during a root canal to see which one causes the least pain afterward. If you need a root canal on a lower premolar that's infected, you might qualify.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You should be generally healthy (no serious medical conditions like uncontrolled diabetes).
- You need a lower premolar tooth with a long-term infection that requires a root canal done in one visit.
- You must not have taken painkillers or antibiotics in the last week.
- The tooth you need treated must not have had a root canal before, and must be fully grown (not a child's tooth).
- You must not be pregnant or breastfeeding.

This study compares two different techniques for cleaning and shaping root canals (the nerve chambers inside teeth) to see which one causes less pain after treatment. If you have a dead nerve in a back lower tooth, this trial may help us understand the best way to treat it with minimal discomfort.
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 tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This trial compares pain levels and a protein linked to inflammation (MMP‑9) when a root canal on an infected, dead tooth is done in one visit versus two visits. The goal is to see which approach may be more comfortable for you.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning and shaping the inside of a tooth (root canal) to see which one causes less pain afterward. It is for people with a specific type of tooth infection in a lower back molar.
This trial compares two different ways of cleaning a tooth's root canal to see which causes less pain during and after treatment. It is for people with severe tooth pain in an upper premolar.
