Root tip surgery accuracy with a 3D-printed guide
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether using a custom 3D-printed guide helps make root-end surgery more accurate and improves healing. It may be right for you if you have an infected or damaged root tip that needs surgery.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 16 or older and in good general health.
- You have at least one permanent tooth that needs surgery on its root tip.
- The tooth has not had root-end surgery before.
- There are at least three stable teeth on the same side of your mouth to hold the surgical guide in place.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have no allergies to the materials used.

This study compares two types of surgical guides used to place dental implants: one made with a 3D printer and one milled from a solid block. If you're missing one to four teeth and have healthy healed gums and bone, this trial may help determine which guide works best.
This study compares two different 3D-printed guides used during dental implant surgery. If you are missing several teeth in your lower jaw, this trial may help your dentist place implants more precisely.
This trial compares two ways of doing a special tooth surgery (endodontic microsurgery) to see if using a high-magnification microscope helps you feel better after the procedure. If you have a tooth that still hurts or stays infected after a previous root canal, this study might be for you.
This study compares two ways of placing a special filling material (MTA) at the root tip during a surgical procedure called apicoectomy (removing the tip of the root). One method is done from the top of the tooth (orthograde), and the other is done from the bottom (retrograde). The goal is to see which method works better for saving a tooth with a persistent infection after a root canal.
This study compares two ways of placing dental implants: one uses a surgical robot, and the other uses a static guide (a template) to help the dentist place the implant. The goal is to see which method is more accurate and effective. This may help you decide which approach could work best for your implant surgery.
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.
