Apical Abscess clinical trials at UCSF

1 research study open to eligible people

An apical abscess is a painful tooth root infection. UCSF is conducting a study to see if the drug Valacyclovir can help manage this pain. The trial is part of research into the role of viruses in dental health.

  • Valacyclovir in Pain Management of Acute Apical Abscesses

    open to eligible people ages 18-80

    The Virus in Endodontics (VE) phase I pilot study for preoperative pain will be analyzed and adjusted for the Phase II clinical trial. The Phase II clinical trial on preoperative pain, postoperative pain, and clinical healing will involve 250 patients. Patients will be recruited from the same pool of participants as the Phase II clinical trial. Preoperative cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans will be taken as well as three and six month postoperative CBCT scans. The secondary outcomes form the Phase II randomized clinical trial will be clinical success and visible radiographic healing determined by CBCT images.
