ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how two different cleaning methods, called irrigation protocols, can help improve the repair of furcation defects in teeth, specifically in the lower back teeth known as mandibular molars. Furcation defects occur when there is damage that creates a passageway between the roots of the tooth, which can happen during dental treatments or due to tooth decay. This study aims to find the best way to treat these defects to prevent further problems, like needing to remove the tooth.

To participate in this trial, you should be between the ages of 65 and 74 and have a small furcation perforation (about 1 to 2 mm) in one of your lower back teeth that needs treatment within a month. You also need to have a specific type of tissue growth at the site of the perforation. However, if you are pregnant, a smoker, or have certain health issues like a weakened immune system, you won't be eligible. If you join the study, you will receive one of the two irrigation treatments and have the chance to contribute to understanding how to better manage these dental problems.
