Compare MTA vs Biodentine for baby molar pulp care
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two tooth materials (MTA and Biodentine) used during pulpotomy or indirect pulp cap procedures for children with early decay in baby molars. It looks at how well the tooth heals over time using symptoms and follow-up dental X-rays.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a child age 2 to 12 years
- You have both sides (bilateral) with baby molars that have tooth decay close to the nerve, or reaching it
- You need pulpotomy and/or indirect pulp cap treatment in two or more areas of the mouth
- You can receive care at Geisinger and your parent/guardian can give consent in English
- The child’s pre-treatment signs should NOT suggest irreversible pulp inflammation or dead (necrotic) pulp

This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep cavities in permanent molars without causing pain. The goal is to see which material better protects the tooth's nerve and helps the tooth heal, potentially avoiding the need for a root canal.
This study compares two treatments for baby molar teeth that have deep decay but are still healthy otherwise: a newer material called Neo-putty (a type of bioceramic material) versus a standard medicine called formocresol. The goal is to see which one works better to keep the tooth healthy and prevent further problems.
This study compares two treatments for deep cavities in baby molars that affect the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a natural material (chitosan) works as well as a standard one (formocresol) to save the tooth and avoid early loss.
This study compares two materials (MTA and Biodentine) used in a procedure called a pulpotomy, which treats a tooth with deep decay that has reached the nerve. It may help decide which material works better to save the tooth and prevent pain or infection.
