Pulp treatment for reversible pulpitis in back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two ways to treat deep cavities that have caused toothache but not yet killed the nerve: direct pulp capping or partial removal of the nerve tissue. It aims to see which method better saves the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 40 years old.
- You have a deep cavity in a lower back tooth (molar) that still responds to hot/cold testing.
- Bleeding from the tooth stops within 10 minutes of the dentist starting treatment.
- The tooth and surrounding bone look normal on X-ray.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last 30 days.
- You are not pregnant.

This study tests if removing only the top part of the damaged tooth nerve can save a deeply decayed molar. It is for people with moderate to severe toothache that doesn't stop, especially when lying down.
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 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 study compares two ways to treat deep cavities in lower back teeth when the nerve is exposed. The goal is to see which method better protects the nerve and avoids the need for a root canal.
This trial compares two treatments for very deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a less invasive partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) works as well as a full root canal. It may help you keep your tooth without needing a full root canal.
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.
