Comparing three tooth infection treatments for baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests three different medicines placed inside infected baby molars to see which one works best to kill bacteria and help the tooth heal. It may help children with a dead nerve in a baby tooth that is causing pain or infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child has a back baby tooth (molar) that needs root canal treatment for a deep cavity with infection.
- The nerve of the tooth is dead (not alive) and does not respond to hot or cold.
- Your child has had spontaneous pain that is dull and aching, signs the tooth's nerve has died.
- The tooth is not already loose (more than mild looseness) and does not have more than two-thirds of its root dissolved.
- Your child is generally healthy and can cooperate during dental procedures.
- The tooth has not had root canal treatment before.

This study compares two drugs placed inside a tooth after root canal treatment to see which one works better for pain. One is a standard drug (calcium hydroxide) and the other is a mix of three antibiotics. The goal is to find a more effective way to reduce pain after the procedure.
This study compares two types of paste used to fill the roots of infected baby molars in children. It aims to see which paste works better at clearing the infection and keeping the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
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 different medicines to treat dead (necrotic) baby molars in children. The goal is to safely clean the infection and save the tooth so it can stay until it falls out naturally.
This trial tests whether a special antibiotic paste or a medicine called simvastatin works better to treat infected baby molars in children. It aims to save the tooth and heal the infection without pulling it.
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.
