Treating deep cavities in baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a less invasive way to treat deep cavities in baby molars by leaving some decayed tooth material and sealing it to help the tooth heal. It aims to see if this approach works well and avoids more invasive treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 3 and 7 years old.
- Your child is generally healthy and has no major medical conditions.
- Your child has a deep cavity in a baby molar that is not causing constant pain or swelling.
- The tooth can still be fixed with a filling or crown.
- Your child is cooperative enough for dental treatment.

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 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 study tests two ways to treat a deep cavity that has reached the nerve of a back tooth, aiming to avoid a root canal. It compares placing a special material directly on the nerve versus removing a small part of the nerve, to see which works better.
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.
This study compares two ways to treat deep decay in back molars of children aged 6–8: one removes only the damaged nerve (pulpotomy) using a special material, the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy) and fills the canal. The goal is to see which method works better at saving the tooth and reducing pain.
This trial tests two different ways to treat deep cavities in back baby teeth (molars) that are close to the nerve, to see which works better. It may help children who have cavities in both matching teeth on each side.
