Microscope vs no microscope for toothache treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older and otherwise healthy.
- You have a deep cavity in a permanent tooth that causes pain or sensitivity (irreversible pulpitis).
- Your tooth can still be fixed with a filling or crown.
- You do not take blood thinners or have a bleeding disorder.
- Your tooth does not have serious gum disease or a dead nerve.

This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
This trial compares two different materials used to treat the inner part of a decayed molar tooth when the nerve is inflamed but still alive. The study tests whether a natural plant-based material works as well as the standard treatment (MTA) to save your tooth.
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.
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 compares two treatments for a deeply infected baby molar tooth in children ages 4–9. One treatment removes only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) with a special material, while the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better to save the tooth and prevent pain.
