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 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 treat severe tooth pain (irreversible pulpitis) in back molars: a partial root canal procedure called a pulpotomy versus a traditional full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment works better and helps you keep your tooth.
This study compares two treatments for a painful, severely decayed back tooth in teenagers: a newer nerve-preserving procedure (partial pulpotomy) versus standard root canal treatment. The goal is to see if the less invasive option works just as well at relieving pain and saving the 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 study compares two treatments for severe tooth pain in permanent molars: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment is more successful in saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study tests a newer way to treat deep tooth decay that has caused severe pain and infection. It aims to remove the damaged pulp (the soft part inside the tooth) and preserve the healthy part, which may help save the tooth, instead of removing the whole pulp or extracting it.
