New root canal dressings aim to cut pain and speed healing

NCT ID NCT07641933

First seen Jun 15, 2026

Summary

This study compares three different root canal dressings used between visits in retreatment cases. The goal is to see which one best reduces inflammation, shrinks infection-related lesions, and lowers pain. Sixty adults with previously treated but still infected lower first molars will be randomly assigned to one of the three dressings.
