This study tested a gentler way to treat infected baby molars in 110 children aged 4 to 10. Instead of fully cleaning and filling the root canal (pulpectomy), the new method uses an antibiotic paste to kill infection with less drilling. Over 12 months, researchers checked if the …

This study tested three different materials (blood clot, platelet-rich fibrin, and concentrated growth factor) combined with two types of rinses to help regrow root tissue in 30 immature permanent teeth with dead nerves. Participants aged 9 to 25 were followed for 12 months using…

This study looked at five different methods for cleaning infected root canals in 132 people with large tooth infections. The goal was to see which technique helps the infection heal best by reducing the size of the infection site on X-rays. The methods included manual cleaning, u…

This study looked at whether a root canal for an infected tooth with an abscess can be done in one visit or needs two visits. 59 adults were followed for a year to see how well the infection healed. The goal was to find out which approach works better for clearing the infection a…

This study tested a more precise dental surgery for people with persistent root infections after standard treatment. Using a 3D-printed guide, surgeons aimed to remove infected tissue more accurately, reduce surgery time, and improve quality of life. The trial involved 70 adults …

This study looked at 185 people to compare inflammation markers in those with tooth infections (apical periodontitis), gum disease (chronic periodontitis), and healthy gums. Researchers measured substances like TNF-α and PGE2 in blood and gum fluid. The goal was to better underst…
