PULPITIS

This study compared two ways to treat badly inflamed tooth pulp: a newer method called vital pulp therapy (VPT) and the standard root canal treatment (RCT). 43 adults with painful, deep cavities took part and were followed for one year. Both treatments aimed to save the tooth and…

This study compared taking an oral steroid (prednisolone) for three days to getting a partial root canal for emergency pain relief from severe tooth nerve inflammation (pulpitis). The goal was to see if the pill could work as well as the dental procedure. Only 5 people were enrol…

This study looked at whether using a special light treatment (photodynamic therapy, or PDT) during a root canal 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 adding PDT to standard cleaning…

This study looked at whether a less invasive dental procedure called full pulpotomy can work as well as a root canal for treating severe tooth inflammation. Researchers treated 58 adults with painful, inflamed molars, some with and some without a related infection at the tooth ro…

This study tested whether applying cold (cryotherapy) during pulpotomy or root canal treatment reduces pain and improves quality of life. 144 adults with deep cavities in their molars were randomly assigned to receive either standard treatment or treatment with added cryotherapy.…

This study measured three inflammation-related proteins (IL-8, FGF-1, and VEGF) in the teeth of 51 people with healthy pulp, mild tooth inflammation, or severe tooth inflammation. Samples were taken from the tooth's inner tissue, gum fluid, and dentin fluid during routine root ca…

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. Researchers wanted to see how these chemicals relate to pain severity, tooth inflammation, and psychological factors like anxiety a…
