Active clinical trials for "Pulpitis"

PUFA Index was introduced to detect the clinical consequences of untreated dental caries. To date, there are no studies on the reliability and accuracy of the PUFA index as a screening tool. Other than indices, radiographs were sometimes used as a screening tool using the validated Periapical Index (PAI). The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability and accuracy of PUFA and PAI in screening for clinical outcomes of untreated caries, specifically pulpal and periapical diseases. The reference standard is the clinical diagnosis, as categorized by the American Association of Endodontists. Intra- and inter-examiner reliability will be determined using Cohen's kappa. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value will be calculated. Receiver Operating Characteristics (ROC) contrast estimation will be computed to compare the two index tests.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and radiographic success rate of Miniature pulpotomy with Mineral Trioxide Aggregate (MTA) in primary molars.

Recruited patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis are assigned to interventional (XP Endo Finisher file) and control group(ultrasonic activated irrigation) to undergo single visit endodontic treatment and record postoperative pain afterwards.

Management of deep carious lesions in permanent mature molars with reversible pulpitis represents a challenge for clinicians. Vital pulp therapy includes indirect and direct pulp capping, partial pulpotomy and full pulpotomy. Indirect pulp capping is a procedure in which a material is placed on a thin layer of remaining soft dentin that, if removed, might expose the pulp. The objective is dentin bridge formation and pulp vitality preservation. The aim of this randomized clinical trial is to evaluate the success rate of indirect pulp capping with Biodentine and TheraCal LC in mature permanent molars with deep carious lesions at one-year follow-up examination. The null hypothesis tested will be that there is no statistically significant difference in success rate between both materials in indirect pulp capping of permanent mature molars with deep carious lesions.

This study will compare the outcome of partial pulpotomy and complete pulpotomy in mature permanent molars with clinical signs indicative of irreversible pulpitis

A randomized clinical trial to assess postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis after using Reciproc versus One Shape rotary NiTi Systems.

To show whether One Shape rotary system differs from Reciproc reciprocating system in postoperative pain in patients with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis.

Eighty patients with inclusion criteria will participate in this studyEach patient will receive an injection in one of the following groups according to the random number table: Group TPMB: Topical pressure and massage with an Inferior alveolar nerve block (IANB) Group TGB: Topical gel of 20% Benzocain (Master-Dent, Monroe, NC) with IANB Group TPMI: Topical pressure and massage with a maxillary anterior infiltration (MAI) Group TGI: Topical gel with a MAI. Immediately after the injection, patients will be asked to record the amount of pain they felt during needle penetration and injection using VAS form.Data will be analyzed using ANOVA and t-test.

The aim of the study is to perform a clinical and radiographic evaluation of 70% Ethanol Alcohol versus Normal Saline as root canal irrigating solutions in partial pulpectomy of primary molars with Metapex.

This study evaluated the postoperative pain after the endodontic treatment by using three different obturation techniques. ( Cold lateral condensation (CLC), thermoplasticized solid-core carrier method (GuttaCore) and cold free-flow compation tecnique ( GuttaFlow2))
