Partial vs. complete pulpotomy in baby molars using NeoPUTTY MTA
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children aged 4 to 7 years old in good general health.
- Has a cavity in a lower second baby molar that is causing pain that goes away quickly (reversible pulpitis).
- The tooth can still be fixed with a filling or crown.
- X-rays show the tooth root and surrounding bone are healthy (no infection or damage).
- The child has no serious medical conditions or disabilities and can attend follow-up visits.

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.
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 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 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 treatments for badly inflamed baby molars: a newer method called pulpotomy (removing only the top part of the nerve) versus the standard pulpectomy (removing the whole nerve). It aims to see which one works better and lasts longer for children.
This study compares two treatments for a deeply infected baby molar tooth in children ages 4–9. One treatment removes only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) with a special material, while the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better to save the tooth and prevent pain.
