Can a gentler root canal tool ease post-treatment pain?
NCT ID NCT07718607
First seen Jul 22, 2026 · Last updated Jul 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two different file systems used during root canal treatment for infected lower molars. The goal is to see whether a newer, minimally invasive single-file system leads to less pain after the procedure than the standard Wave One Gold system. Adults with a specific type of tooth infection will be randomly assigned to one of the two methods, and their pain levels will be measured using a standard pain scale.

- What this could lead to
- If one file system causes less pain, dentists may adopt it to improve patient comfort after root canal treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial, so results may not apply broadly. Pain is subjective and can vary widely between individuals.
