Comparing two ways to treat deep cavities in back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be at least 15 years old.
- You need to have two deep cavities in back teeth that are on opposite sides of your mouth.
- Your affected teeth must still react to cold (meaning the nerve is still alive).
- You should not have any pain that comes without a trigger, and X-rays should show no signs of infection at the tooth root.
- You must be able to come back for check-ups 6 months and 12 months after treatment.
- You cannot be pregnant, have uncontrolled health problems, or be allergic to the dental materials used.
