New study tests if sound waves improve root canal fillings
NCT ID NCT07303478
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two ways to clean and fill root canals: using a standard syringe or an ultrasonic device that uses sound waves to activate the cleaning solution. About 118 adults with painful lower molars will take part. The goal is to see which method leads to better filling quality and sealer penetration into tiny side canals.
