Rosemary vs. root canal: could a kitchen herb save your tooth?
NCT ID NCT07610057
First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares rosemary extract to a standard material (MTA) for treating severe tooth pulp inflammation. Researchers will treat 100 adults with a damaged tooth, placing either rosemary extract or MTA directly on the pulp. They will then measure pain and healing over time to see if the natural option works just as well.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
rosemary extract (6.25% aqueous extract of Rosmarinus officinalis)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a cheaper, natural option for treating tooth pulp inflammation, potentially saving more teeth without root canals.
What could go wrong
This is an early, small study (100 people) that hasn't started yet. Rosemary extract may not work as well as the standard MTA, and its long-term safety for this use is unknown.
