New treatment for painful lower back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether adding special scaffolds to a standard root canal treatment can help save a painful lower back tooth and reduce the need for more procedures. It may help people with severe tooth pain that hasn't spread to the jawbone.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 rinsing the inside of a painful tooth with a special solution (calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite) after removing the damaged nerve tissue helps preserve the tooth and reduce pain. It's for people with a deep cavity causing severe toothache, and may help avoid a root canal or tooth loss.
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 study compares two treatments for a painful, severely decayed back tooth in teenagers: a newer nerve-preserving procedure (partial pulpotomy) versus standard root canal treatment. The goal is to see if the less invasive option works just as well at relieving pain and saving the tooth.
This study compares how much pain people feel after a single root canal treatment on a lower back molar. It may help find a way to reduce discomfort after the procedure.
This study tests if using a laser is better than the usual method for treating painful, inflamed teeth that still have a live nerve. The goal is to save the tooth and reduce pain without removing the nerve entirely.
