New coating for root canal fillings may reduce leakage

NCT ID NCT07205809

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This lab study will test 60 extracted human teeth to see if a special coating on gutta-percha (the material used to fill root canals) helps create a tighter seal compared to standard gutta-percha. Both groups will use the same bioceramic sealer. The goal is to find which combination prevents leakage better, which could improve root canal success rates.

Active substance

bioceramic-coated gutta percha

What this could lead to

If bioceramic-coated gutta percha seals better, it could lead to more successful root canal treatments and fewer infections.

What could go wrong
