ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at the pain patients experience after having a root canal treatment, which is done on teeth with issues like pulpitis (inflammation of the tooth’s inner tissue) or pulp necrosis (death of that tissue). Researchers want to find out if the type of material used to seal the tooth after the procedure—either a bioceramic or a resin-based sealer—makes a difference in how much pain patients feel afterward. Participants will report their pain levels using a simple scale at three different times: right after the treatment, 24 hours later, and again after 72 hours.

To join the trial, you need to be at least 18 years old and have a tooth diagnosed with pulp necrosis or irreversible pulpitis. However, some people may not be eligible, such as those with certain health conditions that could affect healing or those whose teeth have specific problems like fractures. If you participate, you'll help researchers understand which sealing material might lead to less pain after root canal treatments, potentially improving comfort for future patients.
