NCT ID NCT07248189
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 60 adults with painful tooth inflammation (pulpitis) who needed a root canal. Researchers compared two types of sodium hypochlorite (a common disinfectant) — one made for dental use and one household bleach — to see which caused less pain after the procedure. Patients rated their pain over a week, and the goal was to find which solution leads to a more comfortable recovery.
