Comparing root canal medicines for infected baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests three different medicines placed inside baby molars after removing the infected pulp to see which works best against bacteria and helps the tooth heal. It may help children with painful, infected baby teeth avoid early tooth loss.
