NCT07658742
This observational study aims to evaluate the role of inflammatory, oxidative stress, neurogenic, and immunological biomarkers obtained from pulpal blood in the differential diagnosis of normal pulp, reversible pulpitis, and irreversible pulpitis. A total of 75 teeth from systemically healthy individuals aged 12-35 years will be included and classified into three groups: normal pulp, reversible pulpitis, and irreversible pulpitis, based on clinical examination, radiographic findings, and pulp sensibility tests. No additional treatment procedures will be performed for research purposes. All dental procedures will be carried out according to routine clinical protocols. During routine treatment, after pulp exposure, approximately 50 μL of pulpal blood that would otherwise be discarded as medical waste will be collected using a micropipette. Samples will be stored and analyzed using ELISA to determine the levels of inflammatory, neurogenic, immunological, and oxidative stress biomarkers. The results will be compared among the three groups to identify biomarkers that may improve the accuracy of pulpitis diagnosis and support clinical decision-making.
NCT07610057
This study evaluates and compares the clinical and radiographic outcomes of Rosmarinus officinalis and Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) when used as pulpotomy medicaments in vital mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis. The aim is to determine the effectiveness of both materials in terms of pain reduction and periapical healing. While MTA is considered a gold standard, it has limitations such as high cost, long setting time, and potential discoloration. Therefore, this study investigates Rosmarinus officinalis as a natural, cost-effective alternative with comparable therapeutic potential. This study also provide an alternative to RCT in teeth with irreversible pulpitis
NCT07562139
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two root canal obturation techniques for endodontic treatment in patients aged 15 to 56 years with irreversible pulpitis. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does continuous wave condensation differ from the single-cone technique in obturation time? 2. Does continuous wave condensation differ from the single-cone technique in obturation quality, postoperative pain, and 6-month treatment success? Researchers will compare continuous wave condensation with single-cone obturation to see whether one technique provides better sealing quality, shorter treatment time, less postoperative pain, or higher clinical success. Participants will: * Receive endodontic treatment for teeth diagnosed with irreversible pulpitis. * Undergo root canal preparation with Reciproc Blue R25. * Have canals obturated using either continuous wave condensation or the single-cone technique. * Be evaluated for obturation time, radiographic quality immediately after treatment, postoperative pain at 4, 24, 48, and 72 hours, and clinical-radiographic outcome at 6 months.
NCT07549620
This study evaluates postoperative pain and treatment outcomes following vital pulp therapy and root canal treatment in patients with symptomatic teeth. Participants will receive either vital pulp therapy or standard root canal treatment, and pain will be measured using standardized pain scores at different time intervals after treatment. The primary outcome is postoperative pain intensity in the early healing period. Secondary outcomes include long-term clinical and radiographic success at 6 months and 1 year. Radiographic outcomes will be assessed using artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted analysis to improve evaluation of healing and treatment success. The study aims to compare pain progression and long-term outcomes between the two treatment approaches.
NCT06298383
Pain is a very important factor in Endodontic treatment, Both intra- and Post-operatively. In case of symptomatic Irreversible pulpitis, a build up of inflammatory mediators makes it very difficult for the operator to reach the desired level of anesthesia in order to deliver a pain free treatment as well as to eliminate or at least reduce post-operative pain incidence and severity. therefore, a number of pre- medications was suggested with variable success rates. Therefore this trial aims at the use of a new category of anti-inflammatory medications which would be less harmful than the standard NSAIDs or steroids.
NCT07506265
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare anesthetic success rates of intraligamentary dexamethasone, diclofenac sodium, and chymotrypsin administered prior to buccal 4% articaine infiltration in mandibular molars with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. Do these drugs lower the number of times participants need to be administrated with more local anesthesia? Researchers compared intraligamentary dexamethasone, diclofenac sodium, and chymotrypsin to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if interventional drugs work to achieve successful anesthesia. * Participants were intraligamentary injected by drugs or a placebo once prior to buccal infiltration anesthesia * Participants reported pain intensity using VAS at baseline (pre-injection), during access, and at 6, 24, 48 hours post-operative (patient diary / phone follow-up). * Participants reported the onset time to subjective numbness (time from buccal infiltration to lip/tongue numbness).
NCT07452614
This prospective controlled clinical trial investigates whether metabolic biomarkers measured in pulpal blood at the time of carious pulp exposure can predict the 12-month outcomes of vital pulp treatment in symptomatic permanent teeth. Eligible patients aged 16-50 years presenting with deep carious pulp exposure will undergo vital pulp therapy (partial pulpotomy or full pulpotomy). Pulpal blood samples will be collected at the time of exposure and analyzed using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Treatment outcomes will be assessed clinically and radiographically at 12 months. The study aims to identify objective, measurable biomarkers that can improve pulpal diagnosis and guide clinical decision-making in vital pulp therapy.

The primary aim is to compare the behavior of the children during using conventional manual instrumentation versus rotary instrumentation by single rotary system for pulpectomy in primary molars through a Randomized Clinical Trial. The main question it aims to answer is: Is there a difference in the behavior of the children when using single rotary file system versus manual instrumentation in pulpectomy in primary molars?
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.
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.
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.
NCT07287709
this clinical trial is evaluating the outcome of laser assisted pulpotomy compared to conventional pulpotomy in mature teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (SIP) assessed by CBCT followed by automated segmentation using Artificial intelligence (AI).
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.
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.
NCT07191990
The primary objective of root canal treatment is to clean, disinfect, and hermetically seal the root canal system to prevent bacterial penetration; however, postoperative pain is frequently encountered, particularly in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. This condition, defined by the American Association of Endodontists as an irreversible inflammatory state of the pulp, is commonly associated with spontaneous pain, lingering discomfort, and heightened thermal sensitivity, and often represents a significant challenge in endodontics. Postoperative pain is usually linked to extrusion of microorganisms and debris into the periapical region during chemo-mechanical preparation. Bacteria remain the most persistent pathogens in root canal infections, and although sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) is considered the most effective irrigant due to its antibacterial and tissue-dissolving properties, complete bacterial elimination before root filling is not always achieved. To enhance its antimicrobial efficacy, various adjunctive approaches have been suggested, including passive ultrasonic activation (PUA) and modifying NaOCl temperature, either by heating or cooling. Cryotherapy has gained increasing attention in endodontics for its potential to decrease postoperative pain and bacterial load, with additional reported benefits in vital pulp therapy, instrumentation, and anesthesia. Previous studies have shown that cryo-irrigation after NaOCl significantly reduces bacterial counts compared to NaOCl alone. Considering the potential benefits of these different irrigation protocols, the present study aims to evaluate and compare their effectiveness in reducing postoperative pain and bacterial load following single-visit root canal treatment of mandibular first molars diagnosed with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis. The aim of the study will be directed to evaluate postoperative pain and bacterial load reduction after application of different final irrigation protocols in single visit root canal treatment in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in first molar teeth. this study consists of 60 patients divided into 4 groups each group having 15 patients. control: Final irrigation by NaOcl (2.6%) at room temperature 24 °C for 1 min interventions: I1: Final irrigation by cryotreated NaOcl (2.6%) at 2-4 °C for 1 min . I2: Final irrigation by preheated 60°C(15) NaOcl (2.6%) for 1 min. I3:Final irrigation with ultrasonic activation of NaOcl(2.6%) for 1 min
NCT07133217
Sixty-three mandibular molars with vital pulp, symptomatic acute pain, and a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) score of 7 or higher-requiring emergency treatment-were randomly allocated into three groups according to the preparation systems to be used: conventional manual instrumentation technique with hand files, reciprocating motion technique with WaveOne Gold files, and rotary motion technique with ProTaper Ultimate files. In the first session, patients received emergency treatment with one of the three file systems, and seven days later, root canal treatments were completed using the same system within each patient group. Preoperative pain scores of patients presenting to our clinic with acute pain were recorded using the Numerical Rating Scale (NRS). During the emergency root canal treatment session, the first group was instrumented with hand files, the second group with WaveOne Gold files, and the third group with ProTaper Ultimate files, and the emergency treatment session was completed. Shaping times were measured during the procedures. Following the emergency session, patients were instructed to record their postoperative pain at the 6th hour, 12th hour, and on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th days using the provided NRS. One week after the emergency treatment session, root canal obturation was performed using each system's own gutta-percha and Bioceramic root canal sealer. Clinical and radiographic follow-ups were carried out at 6 and 12 months.
