Sonic cleaning for less pain after root canal
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a special sonic (sound-wave) device to clean the root canal during treatment can reduce pain after the procedure. It aims to make your recovery more comfortable after a root canal on a premolar tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 60 years old.
- You have a premolar (a tooth with two points) that needs a root canal and has only one root.
- The tooth's nerve is dead (pulp necrosis) and there is an infection or dark area at the root tip on an X-ray.
- You do not have spontaneous pain, swelling, a sinus tract (pimple-like bump), or pus draining from the tooth.
- You have not had a root canal on this tooth before, and you haven't taken pain relievers or antibiotics in the last 2 days.
- You are willing to return for follow-up visits and can rate your pain on a scale.
