Which dental filling material keeps molars alive and Pain-Free?
NCT ID NCT06784622
First seen Sep 11, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026
Summary
Researchers compare two materials used in pulpotomy, a procedure that removes inflamed pulp from a tooth and covers the remaining tissue. Adults with deep cavities and signs of pulp inflammation in lower first or second molars receive either BIO MTA+ or Well-Root PT. The study measures postoperative pain using a visual pain scale and checks whether the teeth stay vital.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Two dental materials used in pulpotomy: a mineral trioxide aggregate (BIO MTA+) and a bioceramic sealer (Well-Root PT)
- What this could lead to
- If one material causes less pain and better preserves tooth vitality, dentists could choose it more often for pulpotomy in adult molars.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, single-center study. Pain scores are subjective, and results may not apply to other dentists, materials, or tooth types.
