SYMPTOMATIC IRREVERSIBLE PULPITIS

This study tests whether using a gentle laser along with a special dental cement can reduce pain after a pulpotomy, a procedure that saves a tooth with a severe nerve infection. About 46 children and young adults aged 9 to 14 with a painful lower molar will be randomly assigned t…

This study tested whether taking a combination of trypsin, bromelain, and rutoside before a root canal helps the numbing shot work better and lowers pain after the procedure. 124 adults with painful tooth inflammation (pulpitis) took the medication or a placebo. The goal was to i…

This trial tests whether a corticosteroid injection given before root canal treatment can reduce pain and inflammation afterward. One hundred adults with symptomatic pulpitis (tooth nerve inflammation) are randomly assigned to receive either standard root canal treatment alone or…

This study tested whether taking tramadol or naproxen sodium one hour before a dental procedure helps local anesthesia work better and reduces pain afterward. 139 adults with severe tooth inflammation (irreversible pulpitis) in a lower molar were randomly given one of the two dru…

This trial investigates whether using an electronic apex locator to determine the exact stopping point during root canal treatment can reduce pain afterward. Participants with a single-rooted tooth needing a root canal are randomly assigned to one of three groups: two groups use …

This study tested whether pain-relieving skin patches work as well as oral tablets for pain after root canal treatment. 80 adults with tooth pain received either a ketoprofen or fentanyl patch, or an oral medication. They rated their pain over 48 hours. The goal was to see if pat…

This study tested three biocompatible materials—TheraCal PT, Biodentin, and MTA—for reducing pain after a pulpotomy (removing the inner pulp) in 51 adults with severe toothache. Participants rated their pain before and up to 7 days after treatment. The goal is to find which mater…

This study looked at 146 adults with painful tooth inflammation who needed root canal treatment. It compared two different tools (WaveOne and ProTaper) to see which one leads to less pain after the procedure. Patients rated their pain at several times over a week. The goal is to …

This study tested two medications placed inside the tooth after an emergency root canal to see which one reduces pain better. 43 adults with severe tooth pain (pulpitis) received either calcium hydroxide or Tobradex (an antibiotic-steroid combo). Pain levels were measured before …

This study looked at whether applying cold (cryotherapy) after a root canal can lower pain in people with a tooth nerve infection (irreversible pulpitis). 45 adults with a lower premolar tooth were split into three groups: one got a cold saline injection near the tooth, one got c…

This study tested whether taking ibuprofen and serratiopeptidase before a dental numbing shot helps it work better for people with severe tooth pain from pulpitis. 96 adults were split into four groups: placebo, ibuprofen alone, serratiopeptidase alone, or both. Pain was measured…

This study looked at whether alcohol consumption affects the success of local anesthesia for people with a painful tooth condition called irreversible pulpitis. Researchers gave 70 patients (35 who drink alcohol and 35 who don't) a standard numbing injection and measured pain dur…
