Can a gel or nanoparticles tame tooth pain after pulp treatment?
NCT ID NCT07774130
First seen Aug 19, 2026 · Last updated Aug 20, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether using sodium hypochlorite as a gel or solution, with or without tiny nanoparticles, affects pain after a pulpotomy—a procedure that removes the inflamed pulp inside a tooth. Adults aged 15 to 40 with severe pulpitis in a lower molar will be randomly assigned to one of four groups. Pain will be tracked for a week, and the success of the treatment will be checked over a year.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Sodium hypochlorite 2% gel or solution, with or without chitosan nanoparticles, used as a haemostatic agent during pulpotomy
- What this could lead to
- If one form works better, it could point to a more comfortable dental procedure for people with severe tooth pain.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and the results may not apply to everyone. There is also a risk of tissue irritation from the chemicals.

Inclusion Criteria: * • Patients suffering from Symptomatic irreversible pulpitis in mature mandibular molars. * Patients of either gender aged from 15-40. * Patients free from any systemic disease that may affect normal healing and predictable outcome. * Patients who will agree to the consent and will commit to follow-up period. * Patients with mature root. * Patients with no internal or external resorption and no periapical lesions. * Tooth give positive response to sensitivity test. * Tooth is restorable and free from advanced periodontal disease, cracks and splits. * Hemostasis achieved after total pulpotomy. * Soft tissues around the tooth are normal with no swelling or sinus tract. Exclusion Criteria: * • Hemostasis after 10 minutes can not be controlled after total pulpotomy. * Patients with immature roots. * Patients with any systemic disease that may affect normal healing. * Patients with periapical lesions or infections. * Pregnant females. * Patients who could/would not participate in a 6 months follow-up. * Patients with fistula or swelling * Patients with necrotic pulp. * Patients with old age.
