Can a new sealer make root canals less painful?
NCT ID NCT07785973
First seen Aug 25, 2026 · Last updated Aug 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two types of root canal sealers—NeoSEALER Flo and AH Plus—to see which one leads to less pain after treatment and better healing of the area around the tooth root. About 30 adults with infected tooth roots and no other health issues will take part. Pain is measured right after the procedure, and healing is checked at 6 and 12 months using X-rays and 3D imaging.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Two different root canal sealers: NeoSEALER Flo and AH Plus resin sealer
- What this could lead to
- If one sealer works better, it could lead to less pain and faster healing after root canals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small early-stage study, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain and healing can vary for many reasons.
