Predicting pulp treatment success with metabolic markers
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests if a metabolic biomarker can predict how well a vital pulp treatment works for tooth pain caused by deep cavities. It aims to help patients keep their natural teeth instead of needing root canals.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 16 and 50 years old.
- You need a deep cavity that exposes the tooth's nerve during treatment.
- You must not have gum disease or any major health condition.
- The cavity can only affect one or two sides of the tooth, and the remaining walls must be more than 2 mm thick.
- You need to be willing to follow the study rules and sign a consent form.
- You cannot be pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You cannot have taken antibiotics, bisphosphonates, or statins in the last 3 weeks.

This trial looks at how different risk factors affect the success of vital pulp therapy, a treatment that tries to keep the nerve of your tooth healthy after it's been opened during a dental procedure. If you have a tooth that still responds to cold and can be restored, you may be able to join.
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 study looks at proteins in the fluid around your tooth and inside your tooth. It compares people with healthy teeth to those with a certain type of toothache caused by pulpitis. This could help doctors understand how to diagnose and treat tooth pain better.
This trial compares two treatments for severely infected baby molars: one uses a special paste (3Mixtatin) to save the nerve tissue, and the other uses a different paste (Metapex) to remove the nerve. The goal is to see which treatment works better to relieve pain and save the tooth.
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 trial tests two different materials used to treat deep cavities in permanent back teeth. Doctors will see which one causes less pain after the procedure. Participants have a deep cavity but healthy teeth and gums.
