Sealer type and pain after root canal treatment
This study compares two types of dental sealers (materials used to fill the root canal) to see if one causes less pain after the procedure. It may help you know what to expect and allow you to choose a treatment that reduces discomfort.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a root canal on a tooth for the first time.
- You have severe, throbbing tooth pain that doesn't go away (called irreversible pulpitis).
- You are in good overall health.
- You have not taken pain medication or antibiotics in the 12 to 24 hours before treatment.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you have not had a previous root canal on that tooth, nor do you have root damage or severe gum disease.
