We give a deterministic algorithm for finding all integer roots of a square-free polynomial $f\in\mathbb Z[x]$ of degree $n$ with $\lVert f\rVert_\infty<2^b$. The running time is $$ \tilde{O}(n^{3/2}b), $$ improving the $\tilde{O}(n^2b)$ bound of Harvey and Hittmeir (Research in Number Theory, 2022). The algorithm follows the classical $p$-adic framework: find roots modulo a prime $p$, lift them modulo a high power of $p$, and verify the lifted candidates. The main new idea is to avoid searching for a prime for which $f\bmod p$ is square-free. Instead, we find a prime for which the total multiplicity of repeated roots modulo $p$ is small. This requires lifting repeated roots, which we handle using a weighted lifting tree. We also give a faster deterministic candidate-verification algorithm: given $n$ candidate integers smaller in absolute value than $2^b$, we decide which are roots of $f$ in $$ \tilde{O}(nb+\min(n^2,nb^2)) $$ bit operations. Together, these ingredients give the first deterministic subquadratic-in-$n$ improvement for integer root finding in the square-free case.
