ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how different sealing materials used in root canal treatments affect the healing process of teeth that have had damage due to infection, known as apical periodontitis. The main goal is to compare three types of sealing cements to see which one helps the tooth heal better and faster after treatment. The researchers will use special imaging technology to measure the healing over a six-month period. They are particularly interested in whether a bioceramic sealer is more effective than other types of sealers.

To participate in this study, you need to be between 18 and 60 years old and healthy, meaning you don't have any serious medical conditions. You should require treatment for a single-rooted tooth that has infection and no symptoms at the time of your appointment. If you meet these criteria, you may be eligible to join the trial, which is currently ongoing but not recruiting new participants. After your treatment, you’ll need to have a permanent restoration done within 15 days. This study aims to provide valuable information that dentists can use to improve the care they provide to patients like you.
