NCT04922229
This project addresses a central question within the practice of dentistry: Is a pulpotomy procedure effective in the treatment of a tooth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis and normal periapex? In addition, the project seeks to identify clinical and molecular biomarkers that are predictive of the success of pulpotomy.
NCT07410780
This study is designed to find out how different root canal sealers affect pain after root canal treatment. We are comparing two types of dental sealers: bioceramic sealer and calcium hydroxide sealer. Participants who need root canal treatment will receive one of these sealers as part of their standard dental care. After the procedure, they will be asked to report any pain they experience for a few days. The information from this study will help dentists choose sealers that may reduce post-treatment pain and improve patient comfort after root canal therapy.
NCT07403578
This prospective randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effects of different anesthesia protocols on anesthetic success and intraoperative pain during root canal treatment of mandibular premolars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. A total of 100 systemically healthy patients were randomly allocated into four groups: infiltration anesthesia alone, inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) alone, infiltration anesthesia combined with cryotherapy, and IANB combined with cryotherapy. Cryotherapy was applied intraorally for 5 minutes immediately after anesthetic administration. The effectiveness of anesthesia was confirmed using electric pulp testing and cold testing prior to treatment. Root canal therapy was completed in a single visit by a calibrated operator. Intraoperative pain was assessed during access cavity preparation using a visual analogue scale (VAS). Anesthetic success was defined as the presence of no or mild pain, whereas moderate or severe pain indicated anesthetic failure and required supplemental anesthesia. The primary objective of the study was to determine whether the adjunctive use of cryotherapy improves anesthetic success and reduces intraoperative pain in mandibular premolars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The null hypothesis was that no significant differences would be observed among the study groups in terms of anesthetic success or intraoperative pain intensity.

This study will evaluate the clinical and radiographic outcomes of rotary versus manual pulpectomy in children with irreversible pulpitis.A single-visit pulpectomy will be performed for all patients. Participants will be allocated to rotary instrumentation using Fanta AF Baby files or manual step-back instrumentation with K-files. Canals will be irrigated with 17% EDTA and 1% sodium hypochlorite, obturated with Metapex, and restored with glass ionomer cement and stainless-steel crowns. Primary outcomes will assess clinical success at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months, while secondary outcomes will evaluate postoperative pain and radiographic success at 6 and 12 months.
NCT07290049
This study is for children and young adults who have a severe toothache in a permanent back molar, caused by an inflamed nerve (a condition called irreversible pulpitis). Usually, the treatment for this is a root canal, which removes the entire nerve. However, a different treatment called "vital pulp therapy" or "pulpotomy" may be an option. This simpler procedure removes only the infected part of the nerve, leaving the healthy part alive, and then seals the tooth with a special material. The goal of our research is to see if we can make this pulpotomy procedure even more comfortable for patients afterward. We are testing two approaches: Using a modern dental filling material called EndoCem to seal the tooth. Using the same EndoCem material, but first applying a gentle laser to the healthy nerve tissue. This laser treatment, known as "biomodulation," is thought to help calm the tissue and improve healing. Patients who join the study will be randomly assigned to one of these two treatment groups. The main thing we will measure is the level of pain after the procedure, which patients will record on a simple pain scale. We want to find out if using the laser in addition to the filling material leads to less pain and a better experience after the treatment. This study will help dentists understand if combining this new sealing material with laser therapy can be a more effective and comfortable way to save a tooth with a severe toothache.
NCT07289074
The aim of this study is to investigate the levels Neurokinin A and of Matrix Mtalloproteinase (MMP-9) in gingival crevicular fluid samples (GCF) as potential biomarkers for the diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with symptomatic apical periodontitis and to correlate the level of these diagnostic biomarkers ( Nerokinin A and MMP-9) with the pre-operative pain severity using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). This study will utilize a comparative cross-sectional design to assess the levels of Neurokinin A (NKA) and Matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples from symptomatic and healthy contralateral teeth with normal pulp.
NCT07130760

NCT06358833
Summary: After a root canal procedure, it is common to experience postoperative pain. Cleaning the root canal thoroughly is crucial for pain relief, but removing all debris with standard methods is difficult. Irrigation, using either traditional endodontic needles or newer methods like endodontic activation, helps clean the canal. This study aims to compare pain levels after using conventional needles versus an Endo1 Ultrasonic Endo Activate Device for irrigation. Patients will undergo standard root canal preparation and then be randomly assigned to one of two groups for final irrigation: the Endo1 device (EA) and the conventional endodontic needles (EN). The study will provide insights into which method is more effective in reducing postoperative pain.

Preservation of pulp tissue would allow it to continue to exert its defensive and physiological functions and more tooth tissue would be preserved, leading to less weakening of the tooth. In addition, root canal treatment is a more complex therapeutic process that requires the use of more instruments, more time and more visits. To date, most clinical studies that have evaluated the success of pulpotomy treatments have been conducted on teeth with immature apexes. More studies are needed to evaluate VPT success in the permanent dentition in the long term. In accordance with the above, the main objective of the study will be to determine the success of partial or total pulpotomy treatment in permanent teeth (\>18 adults) with a closed apex and symptoms compatible with irreversible pulpitis. At the same time, the association of factors related to the patient, the treated tooth and specific treatment factors with the success of pulpotomies will be determined. On the other hand, the patient, perception and satisfaction with the treatment received will be evaluated. All treatments (pulpotomies and restorations) will be carried out by the principal investigator. After recording the preoperative data, clinical and radiographic examination, a diagnosis will be made according to the classification of Wolters and collaborators , which will also guide us in the choice of pulp treatment: PP o CP Partial pulpotomy or complete pulpotomy. The maximum pulp haemostasis time will be 10 minutes. In both treatments, in the same appointment, the definitive restoration of the tooth will be carried out. The evaluations will be performed at one week, 3 , 6 and 12 months postoperatively. This evaluation shall be performed by an examiner who shall be different from the one performing the treatment. The main outcome of the present study will be the determination of the success of the pulpotomies. \- Is vital pulp therapy a highly successful treatment for teeth with irreversible pulpitis?. Outcome measure 1: Success rate of vital pulp therapy \- Do patients feel satisfied with this conservative pulp treatment? Outcome measure 2: Patient´s satisfaction with vital pulp therapy

The group receiving the garlic oil with zinc oxide as root canal filling material will be compared with other similar group receiving metapex as root canal filling material in terms of clinical and radio-graphic success, and working time.
NCT06880471
In this study, the researchers will evaluate the effect of three highly biocompatible materials-TheraCal PT (ThPT), Biodentin, and MTA-on postoperative pain in permanent teeth affected by deep caries and symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Participants: The study will include 51 participants aged between 18 and 45 years who are systemically healthy. Methodology: Pulpotomy Procedure: Pulpotomy will be performed on the lower first molar tooth of each participant. The teeth will be randomly divided into three groups, with 17 participants in each group. Coronal pulp tissue will be removed using a high-speed sterile diamond bur. Hemostasis will be achieved by applying gentle pressure with a cotton pellet soaked in 2.5% NaOCl, and this procedure may be repeated up to three times (totaling 6 minutes) if necessary. Use of Biocompatible Materials: After achieving hemostasis, one of the three biocompatible materials (TheraCal PT, Biodentin, or MTA) will be applied to the canal access. Participants will be prescribed NSAIDs. Pain Assessment: Preoperative Assessment : The pain intensity of participants will be recorded before treatment. Postoperative Assessment : Participants will report their pain intensity at the 6th, 24th, 48th, and 72nd hours and on the 7th day using the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS). Participants will return with their VAS charts for evaluation at the end of one week. Comparative Analysis: The primary outcome will be a comparative evaluation of postoperative pain intensity values among the three different materials used in pulpotomy treatment. This study aims to provide valuable information on the effectiveness of various biocompatible materials in postoperative pain management and to contribute to improving clinical decision-making processes in endodontic treatments.
