ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different techniques used during root canal treatments can affect the cleanliness of the tooth. Specifically, it aims to find out if the way the dentist shapes the tooth’s root and how they clean it with fluids makes a difference in reducing infection in teeth that have a problem at the tip of the root, known as a periapical lesion. The researchers want to answer whether using more aggressive cleaning methods is necessary when the root is shaped more carefully, or if just shaping the root well is enough to keep the tooth clean.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 65 years old and have molar teeth with specific issues visible on dental X-rays. You should also be in good health according to a standard classification used by anesthesiologists. If you join the study, you will be asked to sign a consent form, and you should be able to tolerate the treatment both physically and mentally. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, so if you're interested, it’s important to stay updated on when they will start.
