Dental microscope for pain relief after tooth pulp treatment
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares using a special dental microscope versus standard care for a tooth-saving procedure called pulpotomy. It aims to see if the microscope helps reduce pain after removing the damaged pulp from a deep cavity in a fully grown back tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and generally healthy.
- You have a deep cavity in a permanent back tooth that is causing moderate to severe pain (a 4 or higher on a 0-10 pain scale).
- The tooth reacts to hot/cold and electric tests (meaning the nerve is still alive but inflamed).
- The tooth does not hurt when tapped or pressed, and has no gum swelling or a draining sore.
- The tooth can be fixed with a filling (direct composite restoration).

This study compares two ways of treating deep cavities that cause toothache: using a special dental microscope or not. It aims to see if the microscope helps save the tooth better.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
