New study tests which Tooth-Saving technique works best for deep cavities
NCT ID NCT06433297
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two dental procedures to treat deep cavities in back molars that have moderate pulpitis (inflamed tooth nerve). In one method, the dentist removes only part of the decay and places a protective material over the remaining decay. In the other, all decay is removed and the exposed nerve is capped directly. The goal is to see which approach better preserves the tooth and reduces pain. The trial will enroll 106 adults and follow them for up to one year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) used as a pulp capping material
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that one pulp capping method is better at saving teeth with deep decay and moderate pulpitis, reducing the need for root canals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial with only 106 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The success depends on many factors, and some teeth may still fail over time.
