Silver-infused paste for severe tooth infection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two types of root canal treatments for a severe tooth infection. One uses a standard medication, the other includes tiny silver particles. Both aim to reduce pain and heal the infection after a root canal procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a tooth infection (apical periodontitis) in a single-rooted tooth.

- You have not had a root canal on that tooth before.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the past month or painkillers in the past 3 days, and you are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two drugs placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one works better for pain. One is a standard drug (calcium hydroxide) and the other is a mix of three antibiotics. The goal is to find a more effective way to reduce pain after the procedure.
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 trial compares different medicines placed inside the tooth after a failed root canal to help heal the infection at the root tip. If you have a back tooth that still has an infection even though it had a root canal years ago, this study may test which medicine works best for you.
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 tests whether a nano-scale calcium hydroxide paste works better than standard treatments for tooth infections. If you have a permanent molar with signs of infection around the root tip, this study may be an option.
This study tests a special nano-sized (extremely tiny) medication placed inside a tooth after a previous root canal treatment failed. The goal is to reduce inflammation and swelling in the bone around the tooth's tip so it can heal better.
