Rotary bur vs piezo knife: which heals tooth bone better?
NCT ID NCT07197658
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two ways to remove infection at the tip of a tooth root: using a rotary bur (a small drill) or a piezoelectric unit (a vibrating tool). 124 adults with root infections will have surgery and then be followed for 12 months to see which method leads to better bone healing. The goal is to find out if one technique helps the bone reform more completely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
endodontic microsurgery (rotary bur or piezoelectric unit)
What this could lead to
If one method proves better, it could guide dentists to choose the technique that leads to faster or more complete bone healing after root surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study (124 people) comparing surgical tools, not testing a new drug or cure. Results may not apply to all patients or guarantee better outcomes.
