Factors affecting success of vital pulp therapy
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You have at least one tooth that has been opened or will likely be opened during a filling or crown
- The tooth still feels cold when tested by your dentist
- The top part of the tooth can be fixed with a filling or crown
- The gum pocket depth around the tooth is 3.5 mm or less

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 study tests two ways to treat a deep cavity that has reached the nerve of a back tooth, aiming to avoid a root canal. It compares placing a special material directly on the nerve versus removing a small part of the nerve, to see which works better.
This trial compares two treatments for very deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a less invasive partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) works as well as a full root canal. It may help you keep your tooth without needing a full root canal.
This study tests two ways to treat deep cavities that reach the nerve of the tooth, to see which helps the nerve heal better. It may be an option if you have a deep cavity in a lower molar and the nerve is still healthy.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
This study compares two ways of treating a deep cavity that has reached the nerve of an adult tooth. It looks at whether using a special dental microscope during a partial nerve removal (called a pulpotomy) improves the outcome compared to doing it without the microscope. This might help save the tooth and avoid a root canal.
