Active clinical trials for "Pulpitis"

This study will compare the outcome of partial and miniature pulpotomy in mature permanent molars with symptomatic partial irreversible pulpitis

This study is a randomised controlled trial for complete pulpotomy as an alternative to root canal treatment for teeth with clinical diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis (i.e. signs and symptoms indicative of irreversible pulpitis) conducted at the National University Centre for Oral Health Singapore (NUCOHS) Endodontic unit. Up to 70 teeth, 35 in each group, will be enrolled. Clinical and radiographic outcome data will be collected and analysed, and a parallel cost-effectiveness analysis will also be undertaken to examine the potential costs and benefits of pulpotomy. A process evaluation will also be conducted to assess the acceptability of the intervention to both dentists and patients, while exploring the barriers and enablers to implementation.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of continuous rotation and reciprocation kinematics on post operative pain and difference in substance P levels in patients with irreversible pulpitis with symptomatic apical periodontitis. Twenty patients were randomly distributed into two groups; Continuous Rotation group(n=10): received mechanical preparation using EdgeEndo x7 rotary system (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA), while Reciprocation group(n=10): received mechanical preparation using EdgeOne Fire reciprocating system (Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA). Apical fluid(AF) samples were collected, and substance P (SP) levels were measured using radioimmunoassay and postoperative pain was measured using Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) preoperatively, at 6h, 12h, 24h, 48h and 72h.

The procedure currently recommended for the treatment of irreversible pulpitis is the endodontic treatment, i.e. the complete elimination of the pulp, disinfection and obturation of the whole root canal system. The emergency procedure consists of a pulpotomy, followed at an ulterior appointment by the root canal treatment. The purpose of the present pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of performing the pulpotomy as a permanent treatment in mature molars. If hemostasis can be achieved after removing the coronal part of the pulp, a tricalcium silicate cement will be directly applied on the remaining pulp at the root canal entrances. A short-term follow-up will be performed at one week by evaluating the pain relief of the patient. Long-term success will then be evaluated every year by verifying the absence of periapical radiolucency on the x-ray as well as the absence of clinical symptoms and signs. A standard root canal procedure will serve as control. During the pulpotomy treatment, blood sample with microcapillary will be performed. We will analyze a ratio of pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines.

the purpose of the study is to investigate the outcome of wound lavage agents Sodium hypochlorite and Ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) in direct pulp capping of mature permanent teeth with carious exposure.

To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic success rate of TheraCal LC and MTA for coronal pulpotomy of mature permanent molar in 9-14 year children.

This study will assess the efficacy of two local anesthetics (2% lidocaine 1:100,000 epinephrine and 0.5% bupivicaine 1:200,000 epinephrine) in reducing post-operative pain in patients receiving endodontic treatment.

This clinical trial is designed to study and compare the effect of two different types of chelating agents on the vital pulp therapy of mature permanent teeth with irreversible pulpitis using bioceramic material.

Thirty six patients are included in this study. For each patient, a pulpotomy procedure is performed.

To assess & compare clinical & radiographic effects of Tea Tree Oil- Eggshell Powder and Biodentine as pulpotomy agents in primary teeth.
