Deep cavity treatment for baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a special filling treatment for deep cavities in baby molars. It looks at whether where the cavity is (on top or between teeth) affects how well the treatment works, so kids can avoid a root canal or losing the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests two ways to treat deep cavities that reach the nerve of the tooth, to see which helps the nerve heal better. It may be an option if you have a deep cavity in a lower molar and the nerve is still healthy.
This trial tests two ways to treat deep cavities that have caused toothache but not yet killed the nerve: direct pulp capping or partial removal of the nerve tissue. It aims to see which method better saves the tooth.
This study tests a treatment where dentists cap (seal) an exposed tooth nerve in deep cavities of back teeth to see if it heals properly. This might help save your tooth instead of needing a root canal.
This trial compares two treatments for very deep cavities that reach the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a less invasive partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) works as well as a full root canal. It may help you keep your tooth without needing a full root canal.
This study tests a treatment for deep cavities in adult molars that still have a mild, reversible pulp inflammation (the nerve is irritated but not dead). It aims to see if these teeth can be saved with a direct filling, avoiding a root canal.
This study compares two ways to treat deep cavities in baby (primary) molars. One method places a special soothing medicine under a filling; the other uses a metal crown that covers the whole tooth. Both aim to keep the tooth healthy without needing a nerve treatment or extraction.
