Natural vs. Standard Pulpotomy Treatment for Molar Tooth Decay
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18–40 years old and in general good health
- You have a permanent back molar tooth with significant decay reaching deep into the tooth structure
- Your tooth has spontaneous pain that gets worse with cold (not just throbbing after chewing)
- Your tooth does not hurt when tapped or pressed on the gum
- Bleeding inside the tooth can be stopped within 5 minutes during treatment
- X-rays show no infection or bone loss around the tooth roots

This study tests whether a special protein-rich gel (L-PRF) combined with a tooth-repairing mineral (nanohydroxyapatite) can help save a painful back molar tooth by treating the nerve inside, instead of removing it. The goal is to see if this treatment stops pain and keeps the tooth healthy.
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 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 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 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.
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.
