Tooth showdown: which pulp capping material wins?

NCT ID NCT07147036

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026

Summary

This study tested two materials, Biodentine and Calcium Hydroxide, placed under fillings to protect the tooth nerve in 76 adults with reversible pulpitis. Over 12 weeks, researchers checked pain, X-ray changes, and nerve responses to see which material better kept the tooth alive and healthy. The goal is to find a more effective way to treat deep cavities without needing a root canal.

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

Active substance

Biodentine and Calcium Hydroxide

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that Biodentine is a better material for preserving tooth vitality and reducing pain after cavity treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, completed study with only 76 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The follow-up is short (12 weeks), so long-term success is unknown.
