New dental sealer could make repeat root canals less painful and more successful
NCT ID NCT06973135
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study looks at whether a special dental sealer (bioceramic) helps heal infections and reduces pain after a repeat root canal done in one visit. About 70 adults with failed root canals and silent infections in their back teeth will take part. They will get the new sealer or a standard one, and healing will be checked with X-rays and CT scans over 12 months, while pain is tracked for a week.
