Pulpotomy for painful adult teeth with deep cavities
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older.

- The tooth can be saved with a filling or crown.
- You are in good general health (no serious health problems that would affect treatment).

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 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 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 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 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.
