Root canal showdown: which paste eases pain best?
NCT ID NCT07210177
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests two different pastes placed inside the tooth between root canal visits to see which one reduces pain and helps the bone heal better. Eighty adults with infected but painless front teeth will receive either Bio-C Temp or Metapaste. Pain is tracked for a week, and X-rays check healing over two years.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Bio-C Temp (calcium silicate-based) and Metapaste (calcium hydroxide-based) intracanal medicaments
- What this could lead to
- If one medicament works better, it could reduce pain and speed healing after root canal treatment.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study (80 people) comparing two existing materials, so any difference may be small or not apply to all patients.
