Hyaluronic acid vs MTA for baby tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a gel made from hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that helps healing) against a standard material (MTA) for treating the nerve in baby molars. It aims to see if the hyaluronic acid gel works as well for saving the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 4 and 8 years old.
- Child is generally healthy with no serious medical conditions.
- The baby molar being treated can be restored (fixed with a filling or crown).

- X-rays show no infection or damage at the root or bone around the tooth.
- The tooth has not been previously drilled or treated.

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 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 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 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 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 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.
