Dental pain showdown: which filling material hurts less?
NCT ID NCT06880471
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested three biocompatible materials—TheraCal PT, Biodentin, and MTA—for reducing pain after a pulpotomy (removing the inner pulp) in 51 adults with severe toothache. Participants rated their pain before and up to 7 days after treatment. The goal is to find which material offers the best pain relief to guide dentists' choices.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
TheraCal PT, Biodentin, and MTA (dental materials used in pulpotomy)
What this could lead to
If one material proves better at reducing pain, dentists may have a clearer choice for managing discomfort after this common dental procedure.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with only 51 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Pain is subjective and hard to measure precisely.
