Comparing two materials for baby tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two materials (NeoMTA and NeoPUTTY) used to treat deep cavities in baby molars that are close to the nerve. It aims to see which works better to keep the tooth healthy and avoid pain or infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 10 years old and in good general health.
- The tooth has a deep cavity that is close to or touching the nerve, but your child has never had spontaneous or constant pain from it.
- The tooth has at least two-thirds of its root still present (not too loose).
- X-rays show the cavity is deep but the tooth is not infected or damaged beyond the root.
- Your child can speak and understand English or French.

This trial compares two materials used in a procedure to save baby molars with deep cavities. The treatment keeps the nerve alive so the tooth can fall out naturally when the time comes.
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 ways to treat cavities that reach the nerve in lower baby molars. Both methods remove some or all of the infected nerve and then place a special paste (NeoPUTTY MTA) to help the tooth heal and stay healthy.
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 treatments for severely infected baby molars: one uses a special paste (3Mixtatin) to save the nerve tissue, and the other uses a different paste (Metapex) to remove the nerve. The goal is to see which treatment works better to relieve pain and save the tooth.
This trial compares two treatments for baby molars with severe nerve pain (irreversible pulpitis). One option removes only the infected nerve tissue in the crown, while the other removes all the nerve tissue. Both use special materials to seal the tooth.
