Eggshell vs. Standard Material for Deep Cavities in Back Teeth
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new material made from eggshells to fill deep cavities in adult back teeth, comparing it to the standard material used today. If your tooth has a deep cavity but the nerve is still healthy, joining this study may help heal the tooth and prevent root canal treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 40 years old.
- The tooth must be a back tooth (molar) with a deep cavity that has not reached the nerve.
- You should have quick, occasional tooth pain to hot/cold (reversible pulpitis), not constant pain.
- Your tooth must respond normally to a nerve test.
- You must not have gum disease, infection at the root tip, or other serious tooth problems.
- You must be in good general health (no serious physical or mental conditions).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests two materials used to cap the nerve of a deep cavity in a molar tooth: one made from your own blood (platelet rich fibrin) and a standard material (mineral trioxide aggregate). The goal is to see which one helps the tooth heal better over a year.
This study compares three materials used to protect the nerve inside a deep cavity. If you have a deep cavity in a live tooth, you may be able to join and help find which material works best.
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.
This trial tests two materials used to protect the nerve in deep cavities, comparing a newer calcium-based material to a standard one. It may help patients with a reversible, mild toothache that stops quickly.
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 trial tests a new type of self-hardening tooth-colored filling material that may help repair and protect deep cavities in back teeth. It is looking for people with two molars that need deep fillings, to see if the material stays strong and helpful over time.
