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.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around teeth and inside the tooth to see if they can tell the difference between healthy teeth and teeth with severe pulp inflammation (pulpitis). It may help find better ways to diagnose tooth pain.
This study tests a less invasive way to treat deep cavities in baby molars by leaving some decayed tooth material and sealing it to help the tooth heal. It aims to see if this approach works well and avoids more invasive treatments.
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 looks at natural healing markers in saliva, gum fluid, and tooth pulp to understand tooth nerve pain better. It compares people with tooth nerve pain to healthy people to find ways to improve treatment.
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.
