Garlic oil as a root filling for baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This trial tests using garlic oil as a filling material in the roots of baby molars that are infected or have dying nerves. It may be an option to help save the tooth and avoid infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The tooth must be a second baby molar (the one toward the back of the mouth).
- The nerve inside the tooth is either dead or has an infection that cannot heal on its own.
- There is a small pimple (sinus tract) or bone swelling near the tooth.
- The tooth root is at least two-thirds of its normal length on the x-ray.
- An x-ray shows an area of bone loss around the roots of the tooth.

This study tests a mixture of olive oil and zinc oxide to treat infected baby molars. It aims to see if this natural treatment works as well as standard medicine for stopping infection and saving the tooth.
This trial tests using Pelargonium graveolens essential oil, a natural plant oil, as a treatment for cavities in baby (primary) molars. It compares the oil to standard treatments to see if it can help preserve the tooth and avoid pain or infection.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
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.
This study tests if a natural mixture of garlic and lemon can fight infection in children's teeth better than plain salt water. If your child has a painful, infected baby tooth, this treatment might help clean it without antibiotics.
This study tests a new filling material for treating baby molars with deep cavities, to see if it helps keep the nerve healthy and avoid root canals or early tooth loss. Eligible children receive a nerve treatment (pulpotomy) and are monitored with x-rays and check-ups.
