First seen Aug 06, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether using calcium hypochlorite or sodium hypochlorite to clean the pulp wound during a partial pulpotomy can improve the success of saving painful, deeply decayed permanent molars. Adults aged 18-40 with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis will undergo the procedure, and the study will compare tooth survival, pain, and quality of life over 12 months. The goal is to find a better way to preserve natural teeth and avoid more invasive treatments.
