NCT ID NCT07351682

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at whether adding other medicines to a standard root canal disinfectant (calcium hydroxide) can kill more bacteria in infected teeth. The trial will involve 45 adults with a tooth infection called apical periodontitis who need a repeat root canal. Researchers will compare calcium hydroxide alone versus combinations with iodoform or a steroid to see which works best.
