Which root canal sealer leaves patients in less pain?
NCT ID NCT06194773
First seen Sep 14, 2026 · Last updated Sep 15, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers compare three sealers used during root canal treatment, Totalfil, NeoSealer, and AH-Plus, to see how much pain patients feel afterward. The study includes 39 people with painful, inflamed lower molars that need a root canal. Each participant receives one of the three sealers, and researchers track pain intensity using a standard 0-to-10 scale.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Root canal sealers: Totalfil, NeoSealer, and AH-Plus
- What this could lead to
- If one sealer causes less pain, dentists could choose it to make root canal treatment more comfortable for patients with inflamed lower molars.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small study of 39 people at one dental school, so the results may not apply to all patients or all dentists. Pain after a root canal can also depend on the tooth, the technique, and how each person heals.
