PULPITIS - IRREVERSIBLE

This study tested two new, less invasive treatments for infected baby molars against the standard root canal procedure. In 66 children, one method used a special paste after cleaning the tooth, while another simply placed the paste on the pulp floor. The goal was to stop pain, sw…

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 how well cold, heat, and electric tests can tell if a tooth's nerve is alive or dead. 175 adults with teeth needing root canal treatment took part. The test results were compared to what doctors saw when they opened the tooth. The goal was to find out which t…

This study tested three different pastes placed inside the tooth after root canal treatment to see which one reduces pain best. 75 adults with severe tooth pain received either probiotics, double antibiotic paste, or calcium hydroxide. Participants reported their pain levels over…

This study looked at whether taking a single dose of diclofenac (a common painkiller) 30 minutes before a root canal can lower pain after the procedure. 160 adults with severe tooth pain took part. Half got the painkiller beforehand, half did not. Those who took it were much more…

This study tested whether rinsing the inside of a tooth with cold saline or the anti-inflammatory drug dexamethasone can lower pain after a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) in adults with severe, irreversible tooth pain. 72 people with painful back teeth took part. The goal was …

This study looked at whether a specific gene change (called rs6746030) affects the success of numbing injections for root canal treatment. Researchers compared 200 people who had successful numbing with 200 who did not, checking their DNA from cheek swabs. The goal is to understa…
