ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking into how the experience of dentists affects the quality of a dental treatment called obturation, which is a procedure used to fill and seal the root canals of teeth. Specifically, the study will evaluate the effectiveness of two methods of obturation using special materials known as bioceramic sealers. The goal is to see how these methods perform in patients who have certain dental issues, particularly those with a painful condition called irreversible pulpitis, without any other complications.

To participate in this trial, patients must be between 20 and 40 years old and have a specific type of tooth (the maxillary first premolar) with separate roots. However, individuals with certain health issues, pregnant women, or those with more serious dental problems like severe tooth mobility or fractures will not be included. If eligible, participants can expect to receive either of the two treatment methods and will be monitored to assess the outcomes over time. This research aims to improve dental care by understanding how different levels of clinical experience influence treatment results.
