Which root canal filler hurts less? new trial aims to find out
NCT ID NCT07253025
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares pain levels after root canal treatment using two different sealing materials: a resin-based sealer and a bioceramic sealer. 180 adults with a single-rooted tooth needing a root canal will be randomly assigned to one of the two sealers. Pain will be measured 24 and 48 hours after treatment using a simple 0-10 scale. The goal is to see if one material causes less discomfort.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- root canal sealer (resin-based or bioceramic)
- What this could lead to
- If one sealer causes less pain, dentists may switch to it, making root canals more comfortable for patients.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center trial measuring short-term pain only. Results may not apply to all teeth or patients, and neither sealer may prove clearly better.
