ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how different strengths of a cleaning solution called sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) affect the success of a dental procedure known as partial pulpotomy. This procedure is used for teeth that have a deep cavity and show signs of irreversible pulpitis, which is a painful condition where the tooth's nerve is damaged. The trial will compare the results of using 5% and 3% concentrations of NaOCl during the treatment to see which one leads to better healing and less pain for patients.

To participate in this trial, individuals should have mature permanent molars with a specific diagnosis of symptomatic irreversible pulpitis, and their teeth should be healthy in other ways, such as having no severe gum disease. Eligible participants are generally healthy adults aged between 18 and 70 years, and they must be able to control bleeding during the procedure. Those who join the study can expect to receive either concentration of the cleaning solution during their dental treatment and will be monitored for their recovery, pain levels, and overall oral health-related quality of life after the procedure. It's important to note that individuals with certain dental issues or conditions, like pregnant women, will not be eligible to participate.
