New root canal sealers aim to reduce Post-Procedure pain
NCT ID NCT07574801
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study will compare two types of root canal sealers, NeoSealer Flo and CeraSeal, in 30 adults needing root canal treatment for painful tooth inflammation. The goal is to see which sealer causes less pain after the procedure and less leakage of material beyond the tooth tip. Participants will rate their pain using a simple scale, and X-rays will check for sealer extrusion.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bioceramic root canal sealers (NeoSealer Flo and CeraSeal)
- What this could lead to
- If one sealer causes less pain or extrusion, dentists may adopt it to improve patient comfort after root canals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain is subjective and hard to measure precisely.
