New root canal gel may ease pain between dental visits
NCT ID NCT07396688
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 21, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests whether a newer root canal medication called Bio-C Temp causes less pain between dental visits than the standard calcium hydroxide. Sixty adults needing root canal retreatment will receive one of the two medications. Their pain levels and painkiller use will be tracked to see which option is more comfortable.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- calcium hydroxide or bioceramic-based intracanal medicament (Bio-C Temp)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could help dentists choose a medication that reduces pain between root canal visits, improving patient comfort.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 people, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain is subjective and hard to measure precisely.
This is an AI summary of the original study and may miss details. Read our disclaimer.
