Pain relief after new root canal treatment for lower molars
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares pain after two ways of doing a root canal on lower back teeth with an inflamed nerve (irreversible pulpitis). It may show which method causes less pain after treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be an adult (18 or older).
- You must need a root canal on a lower molar that still has a live nerve and is painful, but without an infection at the tip of the root.
- You must be generally healthy and not taking medications for long-term conditions.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You must not grind or clench your teeth regularly.
- You must not have swelling or a draining bump near the tooth, and your gum pockets must be 5 mm or shallower.
- You must not have had a root canal on that tooth before.
- Your root canals must not be very curved or blocked (calcified).
