Comparing tooth vitality tests
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares three different tests to check if a tooth's nerve is healthy. It may help your dentist choose the best test for your treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You need a tooth that needs a root canal or other endodontic treatment.
- You are willing to spend about 20 extra minutes for two additional tests.
- You are not part of a vulnerable population (such as children, pregnant women, or prisoners).

This study looks at whether measuring the pH and oxygen level in the blood inside a tooth can help predict how well a tooth-saving procedure (vital pulp therapy) will work. If you have a deep cavity in a back tooth and are eligible, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
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.
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.
This trial tests two different ways to treat deep cavities in back baby teeth (molars) that are close to the nerve, to see which works better. It may help children who have cavities in both matching teeth on each side.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
This study compares two ways of removing deep tooth decay to see which keeps the tooth nerve healthy and causes less pain afterward. It's for people who have two deep cavities on opposite sides of their mouth and want to help find the best treatment.
