New treatment option for Endodontic Disease
Official title The Antimicrobial Potential of Diclofenac Sodium as an Intracanal Medicament
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06207253
What this study is testing
What is Diclofenac Sodium?
Diclofenac Sodium is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for endodontic disease.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- The goal of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the capability of the material to exert bacterial reduction of diclofenac sodium versus of that calcium hydroxide paste when these materials are used as intracanal medications in permanent molar teeth with chronic apical periodontitis. The main question(s) it aims to answer are: Will the diclofenac sodium (NSAIDs) possess antimicrobial efficacy to be used effectively as an intracanal medicament similar to that of calcium hydroxide in primary endodontic treatment?
- Phase 3: a large, late-stage study
