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

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether adding special scaffolds to a standard root canal treatment can help save a painful lower back tooth and reduce the need for more procedures. It may help people with severe tooth pain that hasn't spread to the jawbone.
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 compares two materials (MTA and Biodentine) used in a procedure called a pulpotomy, which treats a tooth with deep decay that has reached the nerve. It may help decide which material works better to save the tooth and prevent pain or infection.
This study compares two materials used to treat an inflamed tooth nerve in adults. It aims to see which one is better at preserving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study tests three materials used to protect the nerve of a decayed baby (permanent) tooth in children, helping it heal and continue growing. It compares two newer materials to an older standard one.
This study tests two ways to treat a deep cavity that has reached the nerve of a back tooth, aiming to avoid a root canal. It compares placing a special material directly on the nerve versus removing a small part of the nerve, to see which works better.
