NCT ID NCT07183514

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

Summary

This study compares a new material made from eggshells (calcium hydroxyapatite) to a standard one (calcium hydroxide) for protecting the nerve in deep cavities. Fifty-four adults with reversible pulpitis will receive one of the two materials after cavity cleaning. Researchers will check for pain, tooth mobility, and nerve health at 1 and 3 months to see which works better.

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

Active substance

eggshell-derived calcium hydroxyapatite

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a natural, low-cost alternative to standard materials for protecting tooth nerves after cavity treatment.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 54 participants and short follow-up (3 months). The eggshell material may not perform as well as the standard treatment, and long-term results are unknown.
