Recruiting studies
- NCT07123025Recruiting
Partial pulp treatment for painful tooth decay
This study tests if removing only the top part of the damaged tooth nerve can save a deeply decayed molar. It is for people with moderate to severe toothache that doesn't stop, especially when lying down.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 15–40 - NCT07138287Recruiting
Growth Factor vs Mineral Trioxide for Kids' Permanent Teeth
This study compares two treatments for children’s permanent back teeth with severe, painful nerve inflammation (irreversible pulpitis). It aims to find which approach works better to save the tooth and relieve pain.
MinyaAges 9–16 - NCT06844448Recruiting
Factors affecting success of vital pulp therapy
This trial looks at how different risk factors affect the success of vital pulp therapy, a treatment that tries to keep the nerve of your tooth healthy after it's been opened during a dental procedure. If you have a tooth that still responds to cold and can be restored, you may be able to join.
BudapestAges 18 years+ - NCT07452614Recruiting
Predicting pulp treatment success with metabolic markers
This trial tests if a metabolic biomarker can predict how well a vital pulp treatment works for tooth pain caused by deep cavities. It aims to help patients keep their natural teeth instead of needing root canals.
BaghdadAges 16–50 - NCT06904781Recruiting
Pulp treatment for baby teeth with severe toothache
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
IrbidAges 4–9 - NCT07748676Recruiting
Comparing two rinsing solutions for deep cavities with tooth pain
This study tests whether rinsing the inside of a painful tooth with a special solution (calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite) after removing the damaged nerve tissue helps preserve the tooth and reduce pain. It's for people with a deep cavity causing severe toothache, and may help avoid a root canal or tooth loss.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18–40 - NCT06433297Recruiting
Direct vs. indirect pulp capping for deep cavities in lower molars
This study compares two ways to treat deep cavities in lower back teeth when the nerve is exposed. The goal is to see which method better protects the nerve and avoids the need for a root canal.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18 years+ - NCT07634900Recruiting
Pain relief methods for children's emergency tooth root treatment
This study compares two different numbing techniques used during emergency root canal treatment in children's back lower teeth. Researchers want to see which method works better at relieving pain during the procedure.
Malatya, MalatyaAges 6–14 - NCT06640218Recruiting
Comparing two ultrasound tools for tooth pain after root canal
This trial tests two different ultrasound methods used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain better afterwards. It focuses on people with a specific kind of tooth pain and infection.
Cairo, New CairoAges 18–40 - NCT06447753Recruiting
Comparing two treatments for tooth pain in back molars
This study compares two ways to treat a deep cavity in a back molar that has a moderately inflamed nerve. If you have a painful deep cavity, this trial will test if a partial or complete nerve treatment works better to save your tooth.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18–60 - NCT07578662Recruiting
Direct Pulp Capping for Deep Cavities in Back Teeth
This study tests a treatment where dentists cap (seal) an exposed tooth nerve in deep cavities of back teeth to see if it heals properly. This might help save your tooth instead of needing a root canal.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 15–40 - NCT06525844Recruiting
Regenerative therapy for tooth nerve damage
This study tests a new way to help a damaged tooth nerve heal itself, instead of using a traditional root canal. It might be a good option if you have a front tooth or premolar with a dying nerve and a small opening at the root tip.
Islamabad, ICTAges 18–35 - NCT06526572Recruiting
Pain measurement with brain waves in tooth infection
This trial tests a new way to measure pain from a tooth infection using brain wave recordings (EEG). It may help people whose numbing injection doesn't work well.
Cleveland, OhioAges 18–50 - NCT07483788Recruiting
Comparing two materials for infected tooth nerve treatment
This study compares two materials (MTA and Biodentine) used to treat a painful, infected nerve in a back tooth. Instead of a full root canal, the dentist will remove only the top part of the nerve and seal it. The goal is to see which material works better to save your tooth.
Karachi, SindhAges 18–40 - NCT06457828Recruiting
Root canal methods for painful molars: open tip vs steroid
This trial is testing two methods during a root canal on a painful molar: one that keeps the tip of the root open and one that uses a steroid medicine inside the tooth. The goal is to see which approach causes less pain afterward.
IsmailiaAges 21–60 - NCT06640231Recruiting
Sealer activation for reducing pain after root canal
This trial tests if activating a sealer inside a tooth after root canal can reduce pain in the days after treatment. It may help people with a painful lower molar that still has a live nerve.
Cairo, New CairoAges 18–40 - NCT06730360Recruiting
Light therapy for pulp treatment in young children's molars
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help heal the nerve inside a child's first permanent molar when the tooth has deep decay and a painful nerve condition (irreversible pulpitis). The goal is to see if this approach can save the tooth and avoid more invasive treatments.
Al Mansurah, Dakahlia GovernorateAges 6–9 - NCT07130760Recruiting
Testing two numbing methods for tooth pain in a back molar
This trial compares two ways to numb a painful lower back molar. If you have a tooth infection that needs a root canal, you may receive one of two injection techniques to see which works better.
Ferrol, A coruñaAges 18 years+ - NCT07163975Recruiting
Complete Pulpotomy vs Root Canal for Diabetic Tooth Infection
This study tests whether a less invasive tooth infection treatment (complete pulpotomy) works as well as a standard root canal for people with type 2 diabetes. It is designed for adults with a specific blood sugar level who have an infected lower back tooth.
Rohtak, HaryanaAges 18–70 - NCT07239505Recruiting
Pre-operative medication for tooth pain relief study
This trial tests a medication called Trinase, given before a root canal, to see if it reduces pain after the procedure compared to a placebo. It may help if you have a painful tooth that needs treatment.
Al Fayyum, Faiyum GovernorateAges 18–50 - NCT07287709Recruiting
Laser vs. standard treatment for painful adult molars
This study tests if using a laser is better than the usual method for treating painful, inflamed teeth that still have a live nerve. The goal is to save the tooth and reduce pain without removing the nerve entirely.
AlexandriaAges 16–50 - NCT07375576Recruiting
Comparing partial nerve removal to root canal for severe tooth pain
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain from advanced decay: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal treatment. It aims to find which approach works better for saving the tooth.
Hatay, AntakyaAges 18–45 - NCT07672873Recruiting
Steroid injection for tooth nerve pain during root canal
This trial tests whether a single injection of dexamethasone (a steroid) near the nerve of a painful lower molar can improve pain relief during a root canal. It's for people with severe tooth nerve pain who haven't taken pain meds recently.
