Saving a painful molar with natural healing materials
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests two natural materials—chitosan hydrogel and platelet-rich fibrin—to see which one better helps a damaged tooth nerve heal after a partial pulp removal. If you have a painful lower molar that is fully grown, this may be a way to save the tooth without a root canal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a painful back tooth (lower molar) that is fully formed.
- Your tooth hurts when touched with something cold.
- You are generally healthy, with no serious medical conditions that could slow healing.
- You can commit to follow-up visits for 6 months.
- You are not pregnant.
- The tooth must be repairable with a filling or crown and have no deep cracks or gum disease.

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.
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 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 tests if removing only the top part of the damaged tooth nerve can save a deeply decayed molar. It is for people with moderate to severe toothache that doesn't stop, especially when lying down.
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.
