Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.

Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.

Summary

This trial tests whether adding nanoparticles to the standard disinfection during root canal retreatment reduces post-operative pain in people with type II diabetes. Participants are adults aged 18 to 40 with a failed root canal in a front tooth and an active infection at the root tip. Researchers will measure pain using a numeric rating scale at 24, 48, and 72 hours after the procedure. The goal is to see if this enhanced cleaning approach leads to a more comfortable recovery.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
A nanoparticle-augmented disinfection protocol used during non-surgical root canal retreatment
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could reduce pain and improve healing after root canal retreatment in people with type II diabetes.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The procedure carries standard risks of root canal treatment, such as discomfort or swelling.
