This study tests if applying cold therapy to a tooth after a second root canal procedure can reduce pain, and looks at how it affects certain natural chemicals in the body. It may offer a simple, drug-free way to manage discomfort after the treatment.
This study tests whether applying cold therapy inside the tooth during a root canal procedure can lower pain after the treatment. It may help people with an infected tooth feel more comfortable during recovery.
This study tests whether applying cold (cryotherapy) to the gum and tooth before the numbing shot can make the anesthesia work better and reduce pain during a root canal for a severely inflamed tooth. If it works, the dentist's numbing may be more effective and you may feel less discomfort during the procedure.
This trial is testing two cold-therapy techniques applied directly to the tooth nerve to see which one better reduces pain during a root canal treatment. It aims to make the anesthesia work faster and more effectively, so you feel less discomfort during the procedure.
This study tests two methods to lessen pain after a root canal: using sound waves to clean the tooth and applying cold inside the tooth. It aims to see which method works better for reducing discomfort.
