Pain after full vs partial pulp removal in baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial compares two ways to treat infected pulp in baby molars: removing all the pulp (pulpectomy) or removing only the top part (pulpotomy). It aims to see which causes less pain after the procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is generally healthy.
- Your child has a baby molar that is infected down to the nerve (called irreversible pulpitis).
- Your child is willing and able to cooperate during a dental procedure.

This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study compares two ways to save a painful permanent molar in children: removing just the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing the whole nerve (root canal). It aims to see which treatment works better and is less stressful for kids.
This trial tests whether a common dental procedure called pulpectomy (removing infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth) effectively reduces bacteria. It focuses on children ages 4–6 with a specific infected lower baby molar that is still restorable.
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 treatments for severely decayed molars in teenagers: a partial pulp procedure versus a full root canal. It may help teens with intense tooth pain find a gentler alternative to traditional root canal therapy.
This study tests a treatment called pulpotomy for adults with a deep cavity in a tooth that is causing pain. If you have a tooth that hurts but is still healthy enough to save, this treatment might help relieve the pain and keep the tooth.
