This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing This study
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

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.
