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 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 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 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 trial compares two different materials used to treat the inner part of a decayed molar tooth when the nerve is inflamed but still alive. The study tests whether a natural plant-based material works as well as the standard treatment (MTA) to save your tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat a deep cavity in a back molar that has a moderately inflamed nerve. If you have a painful deep cavity, this trial will test if a partial or complete nerve treatment works better to save your tooth.
