First seen Nov 17, 2025 · Last updated Jun 16, 2026 · Updated 29 times

Summary

This study tested whether natural gels (curcumin and nanocurcumin) or synthetic gels (ciprofloxacin with ibuprofen) placed inside a tooth between retreatment visits can help heal infections better than the standard calcium hydroxide paste. Sixty adults with failed root canals and persistent infections participated. The main goal was to see if the infection site shrank on a 3D X-ray after one year.
