Less invasive root canal treatment for lower back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a gentler way to clean and fill infected lower back teeth (molars) with dead nerves. It aims to see if this minimally invasive approach can help save the tooth and reduce infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 20 and 50 years old
- You have a lower first molar with four root canals and a dead nerve (necrotic pulp)
- The tooth shows a small infection (2-4 mm) around its root tip
- The tooth has a slight curve in the roots (10-20 degrees)

This study tests a special cleaning solution for infected lower back teeth (molars) to see if it reduces bacteria and pain after treatment. It may help people with a tooth infection that isn't causing swelling.
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 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.
