First seen May 23, 2026 · Last updated Jun 17, 2026 · Updated 4 times

Summary

This study tests whether using very cold water (around 2-5°C) to rinse the tooth during a root canal can lower pain after the procedure. Sixty adults with an infected tooth will be randomly assigned to get either room-temperature or cold rinse. Their pain will be checked before the treatment and again at 24 and 48 hours. The goal is to find a simple way to make root canals more comfortable.
