Comparing two rinsing solutions for deep cavities with tooth pain
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 40 years old.
- You have a permanent back tooth (molar) with a very deep cavity that reaches close to the nerve, causing severe pain.
- The tooth and gums are healthy, with no deep gum pockets or looseness.
- You are in good overall health (classified as ASA I or II).
- You are not pregnant.

This study tests if removing only the top part of the damaged tooth nerve can save a deeply decayed molar. It is for people with moderate to severe toothache that doesn't stop, especially when lying down.
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.
This study looks at whether markers of inflammation in the dental pulp (the nerve and blood vessels inside the tooth) can predict how well a tooth-saving procedure called full pulpotomy works for molars with very deep cavities. If successful, this could help doctors choose the best treatment for severe tooth pain.
This trial compares two treatments for very deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a less invasive partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) works as well as a full root canal. It may help you keep your tooth without needing a full root canal.
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.
This study tests whether a special saltwater rinse inside the tooth after a root canal helps reduce pain after the procedure. It is for people who have a painful tooth due to nerve inflammation and are getting a root canal in a single visit.
