Which root canal filler hurts less? study tests three options
NCT ID NCT07339579
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at three different root canal sealers to see if any caused less pain or helped teeth heal faster. Seventy-two adults with infected single-rooted teeth received standard root canal treatment with one of the sealers. Pain was checked right after, at 24 hours, and at 72 hours, and healing was checked after six months using X-rays and CT scans.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
root canal sealers (Sealapex, MTA Fillapex, AH Plus)
What this could lead to
If one sealer clearly reduces pain and speeds healing, dentists may choose it to improve patient comfort after root canals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 72 patients, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain and healing vary widely between individuals.
