An interventional study of Pulpotomy in Pulpitis, Pulp Exposure, Dental and Pulp and Periapical Tissue Disease, sponsored by National University Health System, Singapore. Completed. Open to participants aged 21 Years and older, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2018-04-06.
Sponsored by National University Health System, Singapore · Not applicable, Interventional, and Treatment
This Trial evaluated the extent of pulp survival following pulpotomy in the permanent tooth pulp exposed by caries and identify potential risk factors for pulpal complications.
Healthy patients ≥ 21 years old were recruited with informed consent. Inclusion criteria were symptomatic and asymptomatic periodontally sound teeth, positive response to pulp sensibility tests, pulp exposure by caries with bleeding, haemostasis achieved within 10 minutes and normal apical tissues. Under local anaesthesia and rubber dam isolation, caries was removed before pulpotomy. Pain complaint, clinical and radiographic data were collected during recalls for up to 3 years.
316 studies on the registry are indexed under Pulpitis; 90 are open to participants now.

Ran from Oct 2013 to primary completion in Jul 2014, 9 months.
Of 158 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Pulpitis, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 28. This study's 9 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 158 studies reached it within 16 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 28.
