Tooth filling study using selective removal on back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study looks at a careful way of removing decayed tooth material on permanent back teeth. It is meant for people with early, reversible tooth nerve irritation, to see if the approach is effective and safe.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new type of tooth filling material for back teeth that has a higher amount of special filler to help strengthen the tooth. It aims to see how well the filling works over two years in people who need a premolar removed and also have at least two small cavities on the chewing surface of their back teeth.
This trial tests a new type of self-hardening tooth-colored filling material that may help repair and protect deep cavities in back teeth. It is looking for people with two molars that need deep fillings, to see if the material stays strong and helpful over time.
This study compares how well a newer filling material (Cention-N) works in children's permanent back teeth that have cavities. It's for healthy children ages 8 to 10 who have cavities in both lower or both upper first molars.
This trial tests a gentler way to remove deep cavities in young permanent molars or premolars, aiming to save more of the tooth and protect the nerve. It may be an option for children and teens with deep decay that hasn't reached the pulp.
This trial compares two ways to treat deep cavities in back teeth: one removes all the decay, the other leaves some behind to protect the tooth's nerve. It's for people with deep decay but without nerve damage or infection.
This study looks at how tooth symptoms and the depth of a cavity affect outcomes when dentists remove only part of the decayed tissue. You might benefit by getting care guided by careful tooth testing and dental imaging, while contributing to better treatment decisions for deep cavities.
