What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This trial compares three root canal irrigation methods—conventional needle, side-vented needle, and ultrasonic activation—to see which one best delivers cleaning fluid to the very tip of the root. Using extracted single-rooted premolars, researchers will measure how far a dye-mixed solution penetrates into the narrow apical third of the canal. The goal is to identify the most effective technique for reaching hard-to-clean areas that standard irrigation often misses.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If one method proves superior, it could lead to more effective root canal cleaning and better treatment outcomes.
What could go wrong
This is a laboratory study on extracted teeth, not a patient trial. Results may not directly translate to real-world dental care.

This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.

Study facts
