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 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.
This trial compares a new natural material (chitosan) to a standard one (formocresol) for a procedure that treats deep cavities in baby molars. The goal is to see which material helps heal the tooth nerve better.
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 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 study tests three different materials (hyaluronic acid, TheraCal, and mineral trioxide aggregate) used to treat the nerve of a baby molar that has a deep cavity. The goal is to see which material works best to keep the tooth healthy, so you can avoid having the tooth pulled out early.
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.
