Frankincense vs. standard rinse for root canal disinfection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares frankincense, a natural resin, with a standard disinfectant rinse used during root canal treatment. It aims to see if frankincense is as effective at killing bacteria, which could offer a more natural alternative.
