NCT ID NCT06584188

First seen Apr 30, 2026 · Last updated Jun 06, 2026 · Updated 6 times

Summary

This study tests whether a cold anti-inflammatory rinse (ketorolac tromethamine at 2-5°C) placed inside the tooth after root canal can lower post-treatment pain compared to the same rinse at room temperature. Sixty adults with painful tooth infections will rate their pain and have a pain chemical (substance P) measured. The goal is to find a simple way to ease discomfort after dental procedures.
