Comparing partial nerve removal to full nerve removal for painful baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain in baby molars: one removes only the damaged part of the nerve, and the other removes the entire nerve (standard treatment). The goal is to see if the less invasive method works as well.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 7 years old.
- Your child must be generally healthy, with no major medical conditions or disabilities.
- The tooth being treated must be a lower second molar (a back baby tooth) that can be repaired with a filling or crown.
- Your child must have a history of severe, ongoing tooth pain (irreversible pulpitis).
- An X-ray must show no signs of infection around the root or other root problems.
- The tooth must not have been previously worked on, and there must be no swelling or pain when tapping the tooth.

This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
This study compares two treatments for deep cavities in baby molars that affect the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a natural material (chitosan) works as well as a standard one (formocresol) to save the tooth and avoid early loss.
This study compares two ways to treat severe cavities in baby teeth: removing only the infected part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all the nerve tissue (pulpectomy). It looks at which method helps the tooth heal better and stay healthy longer.
This study looks at how much pain children feel after a pulpectomy (a procedure to remove infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth) in the lower back teeth. It will help find better ways to keep kids comfortable after the procedure.
This study compares three materials used during a pulpotomy (a type of baby tooth nerve treatment) to see which works best for saving the tooth. It may help your child keep their baby tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
This study tests two materials used to treat decayed baby molars by removing the nerve and filling the tooth. It aims to see which material works better to keep the tooth healthy and pain-free.
