NCT ID NCT07585721

First seen May 18, 2026 · Last updated Jun 20, 2026 · Updated 8 times

Summary

This study tests whether a newer bioceramic filling material reduces pain after root canal treatment better than the standard calcium hydroxide filling. Twenty-eight adults with painful lower molar infections will receive one of the two fillings during their root canal. Pain levels and a pain-related chemical in the tooth will be measured over a week to see which works better.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Bioceramic intracanal medicament (Bio-C Temp) and calcium hydroxide (Meta paste)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a better way to manage pain after root canal treatment, potentially reducing discomfort for patients.

What could go wrong

This is a very small, early-stage trial with only 28 participants, so results may not apply widely. It compares two existing treatments, so no major breakthrough is expected.
