Study summary

Dental pulp necrosis is one of the most common pathological conditions that results in tooth loss. However, regeneration of functional dental pulp has proved difficult. Therefore, the investigators conduct a single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulp regeneration induced by SHED mixed with hyaluronic acid polymerization in patients with pulp necrosis of permanent teeth.

Read the detailed description

This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pulp regeneration induced by SHED mixed with hyaluronic acid polymerization in patients with pulp necrosis of permanent teeth. This study plans to include 30 subjects from the Department of Stomatology of the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University. All participants in this study will receive stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth (SHED) mixed with hyaluronic acid polymers after the preparation and disinfection of the root canal of the affected teeth. All participants will undergo screening and baseline visits. After surgery, the participants will be followed up for 2 years.

Inclusion criteria

  • Patients aged 18 to 45 years
  • Patients with pulp necrosis of a single canal permanent tooth due to trauma or caries
  • Patients who have signed

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients with pulp necrosis caused by severe trauma to the tooth, such as crown root fracture, tooth root fracture, tooth displacement, etc
  • Patients with calcification of the apical foramen at the root of the tooth
  • History of hereditary disorders of abnormal tooth development
  • Dental occlusal trauma, bruxism, malocclusion
  • Bad oral habits (sticking out the tongue, biting lips, biting nails, sucking fingers, etc.)
  • Presence of uncontrollable pathological processes in the oral cavity (presence of acute advanced diseases in the oral cavity)
  • Malnutrition (serum albumin concentration\<2 g/dl)
  • Patients with history of other systemic, communicable or hereditary diseases have been diagnosed
  • Pregnant, nursing, planning to become pregnant
  • The investigators determined that the patient was not suitable for the study
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Assessment of pulp vitality

    Change in pulpal vitality will be assessed through pulpal response to sensitivity tests (cold, hot and electrical test) in affected tooth.

    Time frame: 1、3、6、12、18、24 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Blood flow in the root of tooth

    Detection rate of blood flow in the root canal of the affected tooth by laser doppler flowmetry.

    Time frame: 1、3、6、12、18、24 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Start is estimated for Sep 2023; primary completion for Jun 2026, 33 months later.

Of 66 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Dental Pulp Necrosis, half reached primary completion within 16 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 35. This study's planned 33 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 67 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 31.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Aug 28, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
