Comparing biomaterials for tooth pulp treatment in permanent molars
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and generally healthy.
- You have a deep cavity in a lower back tooth that is still alive (reacts to cold and electric tests).
- The tooth has fully formed roots and is healthy above and below the gumline.
- The tooth can be repaired with a filling or crown and is not cracked or broken.
- You do not have a serious health condition or allergy to any of the materials used.

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 tests two different ways to treat deep cavities in back baby teeth (molars) that are close to the nerve, to see which works better. It may help children who have cavities in both matching teeth on each side.
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.
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 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 compares two ways to treat deep cavities in back teeth: one removes all the decay, the other leaves some behind to protect the tooth's nerve. It's for people with deep decay but without nerve damage or infection.
