Pulpotomy vs root canal for painful nerve inflammation
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for a tooth nerve that is very inflamed and causing lingering pain: a pulpotomy versus a full root canal. It may help you choose the approach that best relieves symptoms and supports healing for the right kind of tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 12 years old or older
- Have a permanent back tooth (molar or premolar) with deep decay or a deep filling
- Your tooth pain is likely from irreversible pulpitis (moderate to severe spontaneous, lingering pain)
- Cold and an electric test should make your tooth respond (not completely dead)
- The dentist must be able to restore the tooth and keep it isolated/controlled during treatment

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 treatments for severe tooth pain in permanent molars: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment is more successful in saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain (irreversible pulpitis) in back molars: a partial root canal procedure called a pulpotomy versus a traditional full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment works better and helps you keep your tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat a severely inflamed tooth nerve (pulpitis) that causes ongoing pain. One method uses a laser, while the other uses standard tools, to see which is better at relieving pain and saving the tooth.
