Comparing partial nerve removal to root canal for severe tooth pain
Part of Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain from advanced decay: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal treatment. It aims to find which approach works better for saving the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 15 and 45 years old and in good general health (no systemic diseases).
- You have a deep cavity in a lower jaw premolar or molar (first or second).
- The tooth has signs of severe, persistent pain from pulpitis (nerve inflammation that cannot be reversed).
- The tooth is restorable and has no cracks, fractures, or infection at the root tip.
- Your gums around that tooth are healthy (pockets no deeper than 3 mm).

This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain (irreversible pulpitis) in back molars: a partial root canal procedure called a pulpotomy versus a traditional full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment works better and helps you keep your tooth.
This study compares two treatments for severe tooth pain in permanent molars: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment is more successful in saving the tooth and relieving pain.
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 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.
