Garlic oil for infected baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests if garlic oil, a natural antiseptic, can replace standard fillings for infected baby molars. The goal is to reduce infection and pain while helping the tooth stay healthy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child's second baby molar must be decayed or infected to the nerve (called irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis).
- There may be a small sore (sinus tract) or swelling around the tooth's root.
- The dentist will check for signs of infection, like bleeding or pus when the tooth is opened.
- Only molars with at least two-thirds of their root still present (as seen on an X-ray) can be included.
- The tooth must not have severe looseness, holes in the tooth floor, or other serious problems that would prevent filling.
