ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07256691
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- This study aims to compare the effect of calcium-based bioceramic sealer and resin-based sealer on postoperative pain in adult patients with asymptomatic apical periodontitis undergoing root canal treatment. Asymptomatic apical periodontitis is a condition where the tissue around the tip of the tooth root is inflamed or shows a lesion on X-ray, but the patient does not experience pain.
