Using scaffolds to heal painful back molar teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special scaffold can help heal a painful, inflamed back molar tooth (lower jaw), avoiding the need for root canal or extraction. The study will see if your tooth can repair itself after the damaged pulp is removed and replaced with a regenerative material.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 40 years old.
- You have a painful lower first molar (back tooth) that is fully grown in.
- Your tooth has been diagnosed with a specific type of severe pulp pain (symptomatic irreversible pulpitis) but no infection around the root.
- You are in good general health (no major medical conditions like diabetes or heart disease).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding and are willing to commit to 12 months of follow-up.

This study compares two materials (MTA and Biodentine) used to treat a painful, infected nerve in a back tooth. Instead of a full root canal, the dentist will remove only the top part of the nerve and seal it. The goal is to see which material works better to save your tooth.
This study tests whether a special protein-rich gel (L-PRF) combined with a tooth-repairing mineral (nanohydroxyapatite) can help save a painful back molar tooth by treating the nerve inside, instead of removing it. The goal is to see if this treatment stops pain and keeps the tooth healthy.
This trial tests two different materials to treat the inflamed pulp in your back teeth. It compares a special type of blood concentrate (I-PRF) with a mix of nano MTA and blood concentrate to see which is better at saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This trial compares two treatments for severely decayed molars in teenagers: a partial pulp procedure versus a full root canal. It may help teens with intense tooth pain find a gentler alternative to traditional root canal therapy.
This trial tests a regenerative treatment for immature permanent teeth (front teeth with developing roots) in children and teens. The goal is to help the tooth's pulp heal and allow the root to continue growing naturally.
This study tests two natural materials—chitosan hydrogel and platelet-rich fibrin—to see which one better helps a damaged tooth nerve heal after a partial pulp removal. If you have a painful lower molar that is fully grown, this may be a way to save the tooth without a root canal.
