ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new treatment method called the GentleWave® System to see how well it helps reduce pain after root canal procedures compared to traditional methods. The study will involve patients who have infections in their teeth or need additional treatment after a previous root canal. Researchers want to find out if using the GentleWave® System can make the recovery process easier for patients.

To be eligible for this trial, participants need to be adults aged between 18 and 80 who require endodontic treatment, which is a procedure that helps save teeth affected by infection. Both men and women can participate, whether or not they currently have symptoms. If you join the study, you’ll receive care for your dental issues and be part of a process that may help improve treatment for future patients. It's important to know that some people, like those under 18 or with certain dental issues like fractured teeth or those needing extraction, will not be able to participate.
