PULPITIS

This study compared two treatments for irreversible pulpitis, a painful tooth condition. Forty-three adults received either vital pulp therapy (using a blood concentrate to help the nerve heal) or standard root canal treatment. After 12 months, both treatments had similar success…

This study looked at whether using a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy) during root canal cleaning can lower pain afterward. 95 adults with infected back teeth were treated, and their pain was tracked for 3 days. The goal was to see if this light method works better t…

This study tested whether a less invasive dental procedure (full pulpotomy) works as well as a root canal in molars with severe infection. 58 adults with irreversible pulpitis were treated, and an AI tool helped detect hidden infections on X-rays. The goal was to see if the tooth…

This study looked at whether applying cold (cryotherapy) during a pulpotomy or root canal reduces pain and improves quality of life for people with deep cavities. 144 adults with deep decay in a molar were randomly assigned to get standard treatment with or without cryotherapy. T…

This study looked at 51 people with healthy teeth, mild tooth inflammation (reversible pulpitis), or severe tooth inflammation (irreversible pulpitis). Researchers collected samples from the tooth pulp, gum fluid, and dentin to measure three chemicals (IL-8, FGF-1, VEGF) linked t…

This study looked at 72 adults with and without tooth pain to measure certain nerve chemicals (substance P and CGRP) in their saliva and tooth pulp. The goal was to see how these chemicals relate to pain severity, tooth inflammation, and psychological factors like stress and anxi…
