Comparing Bioceramic Putty MTA vs MTA in child tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of filling material (bioceramic putty MTA and regular MTA) used in a pulpotomy—a procedure to save a decayed young permanent molar by removing the infected nerve part and sealing the rest. It aims to see which material works better for keeping the tooth healthy and helping its roots develop normally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 6 and 8 years old.
- You have a permanent back tooth (molar) that is still growing (immature) and has a deep cavity that needs a pulpotomy.
- The tooth shows no signs of nerve damage—no swelling, no pimple on the gum, no pain when tapping, and it doesn't feel loose.
- The tooth looks healthy on X-rays, with no infection around the roots, no root damage, and no calcium buildup inside the tooth.
- You do not have any serious medical condition (like heart disease, diabetes, or a weakened immune system).
- You are cooperative and willing to get the treatment.

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 tests a new filling material for treating baby molars with deep cavities, to see if it helps keep the nerve healthy and avoid root canals or early tooth loss. Eligible children receive a nerve treatment (pulpotomy) and are monitored with x-rays and check-ups.
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.
This study compares two types of putty used to treat the nerve of a deep cavity in a baby tooth, and then looks at two types of crowns (caps) placed on top. It's for healthy children ages 5–7 who need this treatment on a back baby tooth.
This study compares two treatments for saving a decayed baby back tooth: a newer material called Neo Putty MTA and a standard medicine called formocresol. Both are used during a procedure (pulpotomy) that removes the infected part of the tooth nerve to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
This trial compares two materials—melatonin and MTA (a commonly used dental material)—for treating the nerve of a child's permanent back tooth that has a cavity but isn't infected. The goal is to see which material works better to keep the tooth healthy.
