Two materials for filling deep cavities in molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two materials used to cap the nerve of a deep cavity in a molar tooth: one made from your own blood (platelet rich fibrin) and a standard material (mineral trioxide aggregate). The goal is to see which one helps the tooth heal better over a year.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a deep cavity in a back tooth (molar) that doesn't hurt on its own.
- The tooth is a permanent adult molar, not a baby tooth.
- The tooth hasn't had a root canal or nerve treatment before.
- You don't have any condition that affects healing, like uncontrolled diabetes or weak bones.
- You can come back for check-ups at 3, 6, and 12 months.

This trial tests a new type of self-hardening tooth-colored filling material that may help repair and protect deep cavities in back teeth. It is looking for people with two molars that need deep fillings, to see if the material stays strong and helpful over time.
This trial tests two materials used to protect the nerve in deep cavities, comparing a newer calcium-based material to a standard one. It may help patients with a reversible, mild toothache that stops quickly.
This trial compares a new bioactive filling material to a standard one for treating deep cavities. It aims to see which material helps the tooth form a natural protective layer over the nerve better over 2 years.
This trial tests a new type of tooth-colored filling material that flows into deep cavities below the gum line. The goal is to see if it helps prevent the cavity from coming back in molars (back teeth).
This study tests three different materials (hyaluronic acid, TheraCal, and mineral trioxide aggregate) used to treat the nerve of a baby molar that has a deep cavity. The goal is to see which material works best to keep the tooth healthy, so you can avoid having the tooth pulled out early.
