Sonic zap may ease kids' tooth pain during root canals
NCT ID NCT07138937
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 21, 2026 · Updated 25 times
Summary
This study tested whether using a sonic device (EDDY) during root canal treatment on baby molars reduces pain afterward. Thirty children aged 5-8 with tooth infections received either sonic-activated cleaning or standard cleaning. Pain was measured using a face scale and an AI app that analyzed facial expressions. The goal was to see if sonic activation makes treatment more comfortable and if AI can reliably detect pain in children.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could make root canal treatments less painful for children and provide a better way to measure their discomfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 30 children. Results may not apply to all kids or other dental procedures. The AI tool for facial expressions is still experimental.
