New filling method for deep cavities in sensitive back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to treat deep cavities in back teeth that are still alive but sensitive. If you have a deep cavity causing brief cold pain, this treatment might save the tooth and help you avoid a root canal.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You are generally healthy and not pregnant
- You have a back tooth (molar or premolar) with deep decay that reaches the inner dentin layer
- The tooth hurts when exposed to cold but the pain goes away quickly
- The tooth can be fixed with a filling (no crown or extraction needed)
- No signs of infection like swelling, an abscess, or pain that stays for a long time

This study looks at how tooth symptoms and the depth of a cavity affect outcomes when dentists remove only part of the decayed tissue. You might benefit by getting care guided by careful tooth testing and dental imaging, while contributing to better treatment decisions for deep cavities.
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 ways of removing deep tooth decay to see which keeps the tooth nerve healthy and causes less pain afterward. It's for people who have two deep cavities on opposite sides of their mouth and want to help find the best treatment.
This study tests two types of dental fillings for deep cavities to see which one helps the tooth form a protective layer over the nerve. It aims to find a better way to treat cavities that are close to the nerve, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures.
This study tests a treatment where dentists cap (seal) an exposed tooth nerve in deep cavities of back teeth to see if it heals properly. This might help save your tooth instead of needing a root canal.
