Can a laser beam save your tooth and ease pain better than traditional methods?
NCT ID NCT07761962
First seen Aug 13, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial compares two ways to treat a severely decayed tooth that has caused irreversible pulpitis, a painful condition where the tooth's inner pulp is inflamed. One method uses a standard solution to control bleeding after removing damaged pulp, while the other uses a diode laser. The study will see if the laser provides better pain relief and improves the tooth's chances of surviving, with follow-up checks at 6 and 12 months.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Diode laser or sodium hypochlorite used during pulpotomy procedure
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish a faster, more comfortable way to treat severe tooth decay, potentially saving more teeth and reducing the need for root canals.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial, and results may not apply to all patients. The laser might not be more effective than the standard method, and there is a risk of treatment failure requiring further procedures.

Inclusion Criteria: * • Non -contributory medical history (SAI, II). * Premolar or Molar permanent tooth * Age range 10-60 years * Deep caries extending\>= 2/3 of dentin or exposing the pulp on the radiograph * The tooth should give positive response to cold sensibility testing * Clinical diagnosis of irreversible pulpitis based on the symptoms and results of cold testing. * The tooth is restorable, probing pocket depth and mobility are within normal limits * No signs of pulpal necrosis including sinus tract or swelling Exclusion Criteria: * Medically compromised patient. * Non-restorable tooth. * Signs of pulpal necrosis including sinus tract or swelling. * No enough bleeding after the pulpotomy procedure. * Inability to achieve hemostasis within 10 min after the pulpotomy.
