New coating for root canal fillings could reduce leaks
NCT ID NCT07205809
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 28 times
Summary
This lab study tests whether a special coating on gutta-percha (the material used to fill root canals) can create a tighter seal than the standard material. Researchers will fill 60 extracted single-root teeth with either coated or uncoated gutta-percha, then measure how much dye leaks in. The goal is to find which combination works best to prevent bacteria from re-entering the tooth.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
bioceramic-coated gutta-percha
What this could lead to
If bioceramic-coated gutta-percha seals better, it could lead to more successful root canal treatments with fewer failures.
What could go wrong
This is a small lab study on extracted teeth, not a clinical trial in patients. Results may not translate to real mouths, and the material may not perform better than the standard.
As listed by the trial registrant
The condition terms exactly as the trial's registrant entered them.
