Nanoparticle cleaning may calm pain after failed root canals in diabetic patients
NCT ID NCT07800403
First seen Sep 02, 2026 · Last updated Sep 03, 2026 · Updated 1 time
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.
