Saving a painful molar with protein gel and minerals
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 30 years old.
- You have a back molar tooth that is fully grown and is causing pain from deep decay (irreversible pulpitis).
- The tooth is sensitive to cold (it hurts when you touch something cold to it).
- You are generally healthy, with no major medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are willing to come back for checkups over 6 months.

This study tests a procedure that removes only the top part of the tooth's nerve (pulpotomy) on painful lower molars in adults. The goal is to save the tooth using a special material (calcium silicate sealer) instead of a full root canal.
This trial compares two different materials used to treat the inner part of a decayed molar tooth when the nerve is inflamed but still alive. The study tests whether a natural plant-based material works as well as the standard treatment (MTA) to save your tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
This trial tests two different materials to treat the inflamed pulp in your back teeth. It compares a special type of blood concentrate (I-PRF) with a mix of nano MTA and blood concentrate to see which is better at saving the tooth and relieving pain.
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.
