Summary

This study tests whether artificial intelligence can predict if a less invasive procedure called full pulpotomy (removing only the infected pulp) will succeed in treating painful molars, compared to standard root canal treatment. Researchers will enroll 58 adults with irreversible pulpitis and use AI to analyze X-rays. The goal is to see if AI can help dentists choose the best treatment and avoid unnecessary root canals.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to: If successful, this could help dentists use AI to decide when a less invasive procedure (pulpotomy) might work instead of root canal, saving more natural tooth structure.
What could go wrong: This is a small early-stage study (58 people) testing prediction tools, not a treatment itself. The AI may not be accurate enough, and results may not apply to all patients.
