Full pulp removal treatment for painful back teeth with infection
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a newer way to treat deep tooth decay that has caused severe pain and infection. It aims to remove the damaged pulp (the soft part inside the tooth) and preserve the healthy part, which may help save the tooth, instead of removing the whole pulp or extracting it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 8 and 30 years old.
- The problem tooth is a back tooth (premolar or molar).
- You are in good general health.
- The tooth hurts when exposed to cold.
- The tooth can be restored (filled) and has no signs of infection like swelling or a gum boil.
- Your dentist sees damage at the root tip on an X-ray.

This study tests whether a newer, less invasive treatment called full pulpotomy (removing only the infected pulp and sealing the tooth) works as well for teeth with an infection at the root tip as it does for teeth without that infection. It aims to see if this approach can save your tooth and avoid a root canal.
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 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 study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study tests a treatment called pulpotomy for adults with a deep cavity in a tooth that is causing pain. If you have a tooth that hurts but is still healthy enough to save, this treatment might help relieve the pain and keep the tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain (irreversible pulpitis) in back molars: a partial root canal procedure called a pulpotomy versus a traditional full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment works better and helps you keep your tooth.
