Could a simple dental procedure replace root canals?
NCT ID NCT07179835
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a less invasive dental procedure called full pulpotomy can heal infected molars as well as root canals. Researchers will treat 128 adults with deep cavities and compare healing in teeth with and without infection at the root tip. If successful, it may offer a simpler option that avoids removing the tooth's nerve entirely.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
full pulpotomy with MTA (a dental material)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simpler, less invasive alternative to root canal treatment for infected molars, preserving more natural tooth structure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 128 participants, and results may not apply to all teeth or patients. The procedure may fail if infection persists or returns.
