First seen Mar 03, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study tested two different strengths of sodium hypochlorite (a type of bleach) as a wound cleaner and bleeding stopper during a partial pulpotomy, a procedure to save a tooth with deep decay. 128 adults with painful, deep cavities in their back teeth were treated. The goal was to see if a 5% solution works better than a 3% solution at keeping the tooth healthy and pain-free. The results could help dentists choose the best concentration for saving teeth.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that a higher concentration of sodium hypochlorite improves the success rate of partial pulpotomy, helping save more teeth with deep decay.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial with 128 participants, so results may not apply to all patients. Higher bleach concentrations could also cause more irritation or side effects.
