Root canal pain study: which sealer hurts less?

NCT ID NCT06726837

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looked at pain after root canal treatment using two types of sealers: bioceramic and resin. 72 adults with no pain before treatment had a single-root tooth filled. They rated their pain at 6, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and 7 days after. The goal was to see if the sealer type affects how much pain people feel.
