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 looks at whether markers of inflammation in the dental pulp (the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth) can predict how well a tooth-saving procedure called full pulpotomy works for molars with very deep cavities. If successful, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for severe tooth 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 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 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 looks at whether measuring the pH and oxygen level in the blood inside a tooth can help predict how well a tooth-saving procedure (vital pulp therapy) will work. If you have a deep cavity in a back tooth and are eligible, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This study tests whether a newer, less invasive treatment called full pulpotomy (removing only the infected pulp and sealing the tooth) works as well for teeth with an infection at the root tip as it does for teeth without that infection. It aims to see if this approach can save your tooth and avoid a root canal.
