NCT ID NCT07246512

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study compares two materials used to seal the tip of a tooth root during surgery for persistent infections after root canal treatment. About 110 adults will receive either MTA or TotalFill BC-RRM Fast Set Putty. Researchers will check healing with 3D X-rays after one year to see which material works better.

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) and BioCeramic Root Repair Material (TotalFill BC-RRM Fast Set Putty)

What this could lead to

If one material proves more effective, it could improve healing rates for persistent tooth infections after root canal treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 110 patients and no blinding, so results may not be conclusive or widely applicable.
