PULPITIS - IRREVERSIBLE

This study tested if a gentler procedure could work as well as a standard one for treating a severely inflamed tooth nerve. 43 adults with painful, cavity-damaged back teeth were randomly assigned to get either the gentler 'vital pulp therapy' (which tries to save the living nerv…

This study tested three different ways to treat infected baby teeth in children. It compared two newer methods using a special antibiotic paste against the standard root canal procedure. The goal was to see which approach best relieved pain, prevented swelling, and allowed the to…

This study aimed to find out how accurate common dental tests are at telling if a tooth's nerve is alive or dead. Researchers tested 175 adults who needed a root canal, using cold, heat, and a small electric current on their tooth. They then compared the test results to what they…

This study tested two methods to reduce pain after a common dental procedure called a pulpotomy, which treats a severely inflamed tooth nerve. Researchers compared rinsing the tooth with a cold saline solution or a steroid (dexamethasone) solution against a standard rinse to see …
