Stem cell treatment for tooth root infections in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests whether a treatment using stem cells from umbilical cord tissue (and their particles called exosomes) can help heal infections at the root tip and reduce pain after dental procedures. It may offer a new way to repair damaged teeth in young people.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 9 and 15 years old.
- You have a back tooth (molar) that is still growing and has an open tip.
- That tooth has an infection at its root (called apical periodontitis).
- The tooth is not planned for a crown or bridge later.
- You have not taken antibiotics, pain relievers, or anti-inflammatory medicines in the past two weeks.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a new approach to help injured, still-growing permanent teeth heal and continue to develop naturally. It may be an option if your child has a traumatized tooth with an infection and the root is not yet fully formed.
This study tests whether adding a concentrated blood clot (L-PRF) to standard root-end surgery helps tooth-related infections heal faster and better. You may be a good fit if you have a persistent infection at the tip of a tooth root and need this type of surgery.
This trial tests whether stem cells from donated dental pulp (the tissue inside teeth) can help restore damaged gums and bone in patients with advanced periodontitis. If successful, it could offer a new treatment option beyond traditional gum surgery.
This Phase 2 trial studies whether injections of human dental pulp stem cells can improve chronic periodontitis (long-term gum disease) by helping repair damaged bone around teeth. If you have a specific type of bone defect and moderate gum pocket depth, you may be eligible and could benefit from a novel regenerative approach.
This trial tests a regenerative treatment for immature permanent teeth (front teeth with developing roots) in children and teens. The goal is to help the tooth's pulp heal and allow the root to continue growing naturally.
This trial tests whether stem cell exosomes (tiny healing particles from stem cells) work better than platelet-rich fibrin (a blood-derived clot) to help a tooth socket heal after extraction. It may help if you need a single front or premolar tooth removed and are generally healthy.
