Complete Pulpotomy vs Root Canal for Diabetic Tooth Infection
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether a less invasive tooth infection treatment (complete pulpotomy) works as well as a standard root canal for people with type 2 diabetes. It is designed for adults with a specific blood sugar level who have an infected lower back tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have type 2 diabetes with blood sugar in a certain range (HbA1c between 6.5% and 8%).
- You are between 18 and 70 years old.
- You have a back lower tooth with a deep infection that still responds to cold or electric testing and doesn't hurt when you tap it.
- Your body weight is in the healthy to overweight range (BMI under 30).
- You are not a smoker, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and haven't taken antibiotics in the past month.

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 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 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.
This study compares two ways of treating a deep cavity that has reached the nerve of an adult tooth. It looks at whether using a special dental microscope during a partial nerve removal (called a pulpotomy) improves the outcome compared to doing it without the microscope. This might help save the tooth and avoid a root canal.
This study tests whether a newer, less invasive treatment called full pulpotomy (removing only the infected pulp and sealing the tooth) works as well for teeth with an infection at the root tip as it does for teeth without that infection. It aims to see if this approach can save your tooth and avoid a root canal.
This study looks at whether markers of inflammation in the dental pulp (the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth) can predict how well a tooth-saving procedure called full pulpotomy works for molars with very deep cavities. If successful, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for severe tooth pain.
