Root canal study: does preparation size determine tooth survival?
NCT ID NCT07583004
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how the size of root canal preparation and the amount of remaining tooth structure affect the survival of treated lower molars. Sixty patients with infected pulp will receive either a conventional or conservative root canal preparation. Researchers will track healing and restoration success over time to see which approach works best.
