Effect of different scaffolds on root canal retreatment success
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using different materials (scaffolds) inside a tooth that has already been treated can help it heal better. It looks at teeth with fully grown roots that need retreatment, and checks both x-rays and clinical signs of healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 16 and 40 years old and in good general health.
- You have a permanent tooth with one root canal that is fully developed and needs retreatment.
- You may or may not have an infection at the tip of the root (seen on x-ray).
- You have not taken antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, or antidepressants in the past three weeks.
- You are not pregnant or planning to become pregnant during treatment.
- You have good gum health (no heavy plaque, bleeding, or deep gum pockets).

This study tests whether using different electronic devices to measure tooth root length can reduce pain after a second root canal procedure. It is for people who had a root canal at least 4 years ago and now have a painless infection at the tip of the root.
This study compares different medicines placed inside root canals between appointments to help heal infections. You'll have a tooth retreated (cleaned and filled again) and help researchers find which dressing works best.
This study tests whether using a special platelet-rich concentrate (i-PRF) during a root canal retreatment can help heal infection at the tip of the root better than standard retreatment alone. It is for adults with a previously treated upper front tooth that now shows signs of infection on X-ray.
This study compares how well initial root canal treatments and repeat root canal retreatments work. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing of tooth infections or inflammation at the root tip.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
This study compares two types of non-surgical gum disease treatments for advanced periodontitis. One uses a newer method with a special gel (I-PRF) and sometimes a mouth rinse, and the other uses the standard method. The goal is to see which works better for reducing deep gum pockets and bone loss.
