Comparing two materials for infected tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two materials (MTA and Biodentine) used to treat a painful, infected nerve in a back tooth. Instead of a full root canal, the dentist will remove only the top part of the nerve and seal it. The goal is to see which material works better to save your tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old
- You have a painful back tooth (molar) with an infected nerve (called irreversible pulpitis)
- Your pain is moderate to severe (rating 4 or higher out of 10)
- You are generally healthy with no major medical conditions
- Your tooth has a fully grown root (not a child's tooth) and no other damage like cracks or resorption

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.
This study tests two different materials (MTA and Biodentin) used in a pulpotomy procedure for permanent teeth that have been exposed by a cavity. The goal is to see which material works better to preserve the tooth and reduce the need for more extensive treatment.
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 treatments for baby molars with severe nerve pain (irreversible pulpitis). One option removes only the infected nerve tissue in the crown, while the other removes all the nerve tissue. Both use special materials to seal the 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 three different materials used to seal and protect baby teeth when the nerve is exposed due to deep cavities. The goal is to see which material works best at keeping the tooth healthy and avoiding the need for root canal treatment.
