Laser and cold therapy for painful back tooth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether using a low-level laser and cold therapy together helps heal a back tooth that has deep decay and is causing severe pain. The goal is to save the tooth and avoid a root canal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a back tooth (molar) that is still alive but has deep decay or a large filling and is causing severe pain (irreversible pulpitis).
- The tooth is a fully grown permanent tooth (not a baby tooth).
- You do not have any serious health problems like uncontrolled diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease.
- The tooth has no signs of infection at the root tip (abscess) on an X-ray, and no swelling or gum infection.
- You are not allergic to any of the materials or medicines used in the study.

This trial tests whether rosemary extract can help preserve the nerve in a back tooth when it's inflamed but still alive. Instead of a full root canal, the dentist removes the upper part of the nerve and applies rosemary extract to help it heal.
This study tests if using a laser is better than the usual method for treating painful, inflamed teeth that still have a live nerve. The goal is to save the tooth and reduce pain without removing the nerve entirely.
This study tests whether using different strengths of a disinfectant rinse inside the tooth, sometimes combined with cold therapy, can reduce pain after a type of root canal treatment for lower molars. It aims to find the most comfortable and effective approach for managing post-procedure pain.
This study tests whether a special light treatment (photobiomodulation) can help heal the nerve inside a child's first permanent molar when the tooth has deep decay and a painful nerve condition (irreversible pulpitis). The goal is to see if this approach can save the tooth and avoid more invasive treatments.
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 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.
