Dentin caries

This study looks at whether the position of a deep cavity (on the chewing surface or between teeth) affects how well a tooth-saving procedure called direct pulp capping works. Researchers will treat 154 people aged 15-40 with reversible pulpitis, a condition where tooth pain goes…

This study tests two methods for cleaning deep cavities in permanent teeth: removing all decayed tissue (total removal) or leaving a thin layer near the nerve (selective removal). Researchers want to see which approach better keeps the tooth alive and causes less pain after treat…

This study compares three materials used to treat deep cavities in permanent teeth: Egyptian MTA, Biodentine, and calcium hydroxide. About 35 adults aged 22-45 with deep decay will receive one of these materials under a filling. Researchers will check if the tooth stays healthy a…

This study compares two ways of applying dental glue for filling cavities in front teeth. 120 healthy adults will receive fillings and be checked over 18 months. The goal is to see which method keeps fillings in good shape.

This study compares two dental treatments—pulpotomy and pulpectomy—for deep cavities in baby teeth that cause pain. About 40 children aged 4 to 6 will receive one of the treatments. Researchers will check x-rays and symptoms to see which approach works better and is more comforta…

This study compares two treatments for extremely deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve: a full pulpotomy (removing only the top part of the nerve) versus a standard root canal. About 93 people aged 12 and older with a deep cavity in a permanent tooth will be randomly assigne…

This study looks at how well temporary crowns and bridges made from special plastic materials work and if they are safe. About 120 adults who need a temporary tooth replacement will be split into four groups based on the material used. They will be checked over 6 months to see ho…

This study looks at whether doing breathing exercises before orthopedic surgery (like knee, hip, or fracture repair) can help your lungs work better after the operation. It involves 36 adults who have used tobacco and are at risk for breathing problems after surgery. Participants…

This study tests whether a program of exercise and ergonomics training can reduce muscle and joint pain in teachers. About 80 teachers who have had pain for at least three months will be randomly assigned to receive the training or not. Researchers will measure changes in pain, d…

This study tests a web-based app called IAMABLE that provides evidence-based rehabilitation strategies for people with chronic conditions like heart disease, arthritis, or neurological disorders. Fifty adults aged 45 to 75 will use the app for 4 months to set goals and learn abou…

This study looks at whether different types of tooth-colored filling materials can reduce pain or sensitivity after a cavity is filled. Researchers will compare two modern composite materials in 120 healthy adults who need a filling in a back tooth. Participants will be followed …

This study tests whether extra support for case managers helps veterans leaving the military better manage pain and reduce risky substance use. About 1800 veterans will take part. The program focuses on non-drug pain treatments and counseling.

This study aims to learn more about rare skeletal disorders by collecting medical records, blood samples, and genetic data from 100 participants. People with known or suspected bone conditions, as well as their healthy family members, can join either remotely or in person. The go…

This study translates and tests several health questionnaires—covering pain, arm and leg function, mood, and daily activities—for use with Albanian-speaking people. Researchers will check if the translated versions are reliable and accurate by giving them to about 300 participant…

This study tests a new tool called the PRISM Dashboard, which gives physiotherapists feedback on how their decisions compare to their peers. The goal is to see if this feedback helps reduce differences in care for people with muscle and joint pain. About 60 physiotherapists and t…

This study looks at children's baby teeth that were previously treated for cavities with either silver diamine fluoride (SDF) plus a filling or just a filling alone. After the teeth are naturally lost or extracted, researchers will examine them under a microscope to see how the i…

This study looks at how a patient's symptoms before treatment and how deep the cavity is affect the success of partial decay removal in adult teeth. One hundred adults with deep cavities will be treated and followed for 12-24 months. The goal is to see if these factors influence …

This study follows 252 adults with muscle, bone, or joint problems (like arthritis, back pain, or after surgery) to see how well they do their prescribed home exercises. Researchers will track who sticks with the program and why, looking at factors like pain, mood, and support. T…

This study tests whether using a virtual reality (VR) headset during shoulder exercises helps patients feel more engaged and motivated. Fifty adults with shoulder problems will do rehab exercises in a VR environment and then answer questionnaires about how easy and immersive the …

This study aims to create a secure national database for muscle and joint (musculoskeletal) conditions by collecting routine data from community clinics and GP practices. About 22,000 adults will have their information anonymously gathered to help develop a dashboard that tracks …

This study watches 2000 people having hip or knee replacement surgery to see how long spinal anaesthesia lasts. The goal is to learn how the amount of anaesthetic affects timing, helping doctors decide if patients can safely go home the same day. No new treatments are tested—just…

This study looks at how changing the heel cushion on an ankle-foot brace (AFO) affects walking in people who use one daily. Forty adults with leg injuries or nerve problems will try four different heel wedges—tall or short, soft or firm—while walking at controlled speeds. Researc…

This study looks at how 3D computer simulation and printing can help surgeons better plan and perform bone correction surgeries. Researchers will compare the planned corrections to the actual results in 100 children and young adults with rare bone deformities. The goal is to make…

This study follows 4,000 children who receive orthopedic implants (like rods or screws) during standard care for bone fractures, deformities, or hip problems. Researchers will track how long the implants last, any complications, and how well they work over time. The goal is to ga…

This study is building a registry of people with rare bone diseases (skeletal dysplasias) in Italy. Researchers will collect medical history, genetic data, and treatment details over time to better understand how these conditions progress. No experimental treatments are given; th…
