Predicting success of molar pulp treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain signs in your tooth can help predict if a special type of filling (pulpotomy) will work for deep cavities in back teeth. It may help find the best treatment for you.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a deep cavity in a back tooth that goes close to the nerve.
- Your tooth has symptoms of nerve inflammation, like lasting pain from cold or spontaneous pain, but no signs of infection at the tip of the root.
- Your tooth responds normally to cold and electric tests.
- You have not taken painkillers or antibiotics in the past week.
- You do not have a weakened immune system (e.g., from HIV or organ transplant).

This study compares two treatments for a deeply infected baby molar tooth in children ages 4–9. One treatment removes only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) with a special material, while the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better to save the tooth and prevent pain.
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 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.
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 two different materials used to treat deep cavities in permanent back teeth. Doctors will see which one causes less pain after the procedure. Participants have a deep cavity but healthy teeth and gums.
This trial tests two ways to treat deep cavities that have caused toothache but not yet killed the nerve: direct pulp capping or partial removal of the nerve tissue. It aims to see which method better saves the tooth.
