NCT ID NCT07314866

First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026 · Updated 16 times

Summary

This small study tested a new way to treat teeth with dead nerves (pulp necrosis) and infection at the root tip. Doctors took pulp from a healthy donor tooth, mixed it with a growth factor concentrate (CGF), and transplanted it into the damaged tooth. After 12 months, they checked for healing of the bone around the root and whether the tooth regained feeling. The goal was to see if this approach can restore tooth health and avoid root canal treatment.
