Summary

This trial tests four methods of activating the cleaning liquid during root canal treatment in adults aged 20 to 40 with an infected lower first molar. The goal is to see which method helps the infection at the root tip heal best after 12 months. Participants receive one-visit root canal treatment and are followed with check-ups and a 3D dental scan.

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 treatment with different irrigation activation methods (standard syringe, Ultra X, Endo Vac, I Vac)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could identify the best way to clean root canals, leading to faster and more complete healing of tooth infections.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The different irrigation methods may show no clear advantage over standard care.
