Compare three tooth vitality tests before root canal treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at which quick test best shows whether a tooth’s nerve is still alive when you need root canal treatment. If you’re getting endodontic (root canal) care, the trial may ask you to do two extra tests that take about 20 minutes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have at least one tooth that needs root canal (endodontic) treatment
- You’re willing to have two extra tooth vitality tests added to your visit
- The extra tests take about 20 minutes total
- You can follow the study visit schedule as planned

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 study compares different cleaning solutions used during root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain after treatment and has fewer bacteria. If you need root canal treatment, you may be able to join and help researchers understand the best way to care for infected teeth.
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 different methods for cleaning a tooth's root canal to see which one causes less pain after the procedure. It may help people with tooth pain caused by nerve inflammation.
This trial compares two treatments for very deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a less invasive partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) works as well as a full root canal. It may help you keep your tooth without needing a full root canal.
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.
