Liquid bone treatment for persistent root infections
This study tests whether adding a liquid that helps bone heal during root-end surgery improves recovery for people with a persistent infection at the tip of a front tooth root.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a persistent infection at the root tip of a front tooth that hasn't healed after root canal treatment.
- The infection area (lesion) is between 5 and 8 millimeters wide.
- You are not a smoker.
- You do not have diabetes or a weakened immune system.
- You are not pregnant.
- Your tooth has no cracks or fractures and has not had previous root-end surgery.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether using a bone graft (allograft) together with your own blood concentrate (iPRF) and a collagen membrane helps heal the bone and gum around a tooth with a long-standing infection. It might be a good option if you have a tooth that keeps getting infected despite a root canal and has a deep pocket on the cheek side.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
This trial tests whether putting hyaluronic acid (a natural gel-like substance) into the bone during root-end surgery helps heal infections in first molars (back teeth) that didn't get better after a root canal. It may be a good option if you have a small, stubborn infection and your gums are healthy.
This trial compares two ways of doing a special tooth surgery (endodontic microsurgery) to see if using a high-magnification microscope helps you feel better after the procedure. If you have a tooth that still hurts or stays infected after a previous root canal, this study might be for you.
This trial tests whether biological agents can help heal deep gum bone defects that remain after standard non-surgical cleaning. It may be an option for people who still have deep pockets around their teeth and need a minimally invasive surgical procedure.
This study tests a gum surgery technique (guided tissue regeneration) to help heal teeth that have both gum disease and a failed root canal. It looks at how well the tooth heals and how it affects your daily life.
