Comparing two treatments for baby molar teeth with deep decay
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 9 years old.
- The tooth being treated should not have caused any pain (either on its own or when eating).
- The tooth must have at least two-thirds of its root still present (for healthy support).
- There must be no signs of infection or damage inside the tooth or in the bone around it.
- Your child must be generally healthy (no serious heart, liver, or immune system problems).
- The tooth should be able to be restored with a filling or crown (not too broken down).

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 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 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 tests two materials used to treat decayed baby molars by removing the nerve and filling the tooth. It aims to see which material works better to keep the tooth healthy and pain-free.
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 three materials used during a pulpotomy (a type of baby tooth nerve treatment) to see which works best for saving the tooth. It may help your child keep their baby tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
