Summary

This trial aims to test the effectiveness of GentleWave, a new dental cleaning technology, on patients needing tooth cleaning and disinfection. GentleWave uses fluids and sound waves to clean areas inside the tooth more thoroughly than traditional methods. The GentleWave System has been shown to result in a higher tissue dissolution rate and effective cleaning compared to traditional methods.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults who have chosen to have a tooth extracted rather than undergo other dental treatments. It's not suitable for teeth with severe structural damage, root fractures, or those that previously had root canal treatment.
What is being tested?
The study is testing the effectiveness of GentleWave technology in cleaning and disinfecting the hard-to-reach areas during a root canal procedure on mandibular molars, using actual human cases.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves standard dental extraction procedures, potential side effects may include typical post-extraction symptoms such as pain, swelling, bleeding, and infection risk at the site.
