Summary

This study tests whether a new cleaning technology (GentleWave) is better than standard methods for disinfecting root canals in molars that still have infection after initial treatment. About 60 adults with persistent infection will be randomly assigned to receive either the new system or conventional care. Researchers will measure bacterial levels and leftover debris to see which approach works best.
