Regrowing damaged tooth pulp using a special dental material
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a dental material can help regrow the inner nerve tissue of a permanent tooth that has become non-living (pulp necrosis) after decay or an injury. If it works and is safe, it could help avoid more invasive tooth treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 to 45 years old
- You have one permanent tooth with dead pulp in a single root canal (from decay or a mild injury)
- The tooth problem started from trauma or tooth decay (not from severe tooth breakage or moving)
- Your tooth root opening is not blocked by calcification (a hardened blockage at the tip of the root)
- You are not pregnant, not nursing, and not planning pregnancy
- Your general health is suitable for dental treatment (no serious uncontrolled mouth problems or malnutrition)

This trial tests whether stem cells from donated dental pulp (the tissue inside teeth) can help restore damaged gums and bone in patients with advanced periodontitis. If successful, it could offer a new treatment option beyond traditional gum surgery.
This trial tests a regenerative treatment for immature permanent teeth (front teeth with developing roots) in children and teens. The goal is to help the tooth's pulp heal and allow the root to continue growing naturally.
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.
This study tests two natural materials—chitosan hydrogel and platelet-rich fibrin—to see which one better helps a damaged tooth nerve heal after a partial pulp removal. If you have a painful lower molar that is fully grown, this may be a way to save the tooth without a root canal.
This study tests whether a special protein-rich gel (L-PRF) combined with a tooth-repairing mineral (nanohydroxyapatite) can help save a painful back molar tooth by treating the nerve inside, instead of removing it. The goal is to see if this treatment stops pain and keeps the tooth healthy.
This trial tests whether a special scaffold can help heal a painful, inflamed back molar tooth (lower jaw), avoiding the need for root canal or extraction. The study will see if your tooth can repair itself after the damaged pulp is removed and replaced with a regenerative material.
