Root canal pain study: tiny file trick may ease ache
NCT ID NCT07233590
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether gently extending a tiny file just beyond the tooth's tip during root canal treatment can lower pain afterward. 72 adults with pain-free, single-rooted teeth took part. One group had the tip kept open, the other did not. Pain levels were tracked for 48 hours. The goal was to see if this simple step makes a difference in comfort.
