New root canal filler could improve tooth survival
NCT ID NCT06252337
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two root canal filling techniques: one using a newer bioceramic sealer and another using a traditional epoxy resin sealer. Researchers will track 80 healthy adults over two years to see which method leads to better healing and tooth survival. The goal is to find out if the newer material offers any advantage.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- bioceramic sealer and epoxy resin sealer
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that a newer bioceramic sealer works as well as or better than traditional materials for root canal treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 80 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Differences between techniques might be small or not meaningful.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age 18-75 years 2. Healthy status (ASA 1 or 2) 3. At least one tooth affected by endodontic pathology (pulpitis, pulp necrosis, re-exacerbated lesions with a previous root canal treatment) (b) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Teeth with less than 2 walls of crown structural integrity 2. Teeth used as abutments for fixed rehabilitation 3. Presence of active periodontal disease (PPD \> 4 mm, general BoP \> 25% of the sites) 4. Wide apexes (\>40 diameters) or absence of radiographic pulp chamber 5. Any systemic pathology that could compromise bone healing or the immune response (i.e., diabetes) 6. Pregnancy or breastfeeding 7. Heavy smoking (\>15 cigarettes/day) 8. Exposure to radiation therapy focused on the head and neck region and malignant disease directly involving the jaws. 9. Lack of occlusal contacts
