Chitosan vs formocresol for baby tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares a new natural material (chitosan) to a standard one (formocresol) for a procedure that treats deep cavities in baby molars. The goal is to see which material helps heal the tooth nerve better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 8 years old.
- Your child has at least one deep cavity in a lower baby molar that needs nerve treatment.
- The tooth has pain when provoked (like with cold or hot) but is not constantly hurting.
- The tooth can be restored (filled or capped) after the procedure.
- Your child is generally healthy and can cooperate during dental visits.
- You are willing to return for follow-up visits and give your contact information.

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.
This study compares two treatments for baby molar teeth that have deep decay but are still healthy otherwise: a newer material called Neo-putty (a type of bioceramic material) versus a standard medicine called formocresol. The goal is to see which one works better to keep the tooth healthy and prevent further problems.
This study compares two treatments for saving a decayed baby back tooth: a newer material called Neo Putty MTA and a standard medicine called formocresol. Both are used during a procedure (pulpotomy) that removes the infected part of the tooth nerve to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
This study compares two tooth-cleaning liquids (calcium hypochlorite vs. saline) used during a pulpectomy (nerve removal in baby molars). It aims to see which one works better for treating deep cavities that have caused nerve damage in lower baby molars.
This study tests three different materials (hyaluronic acid, TheraCal, and mineral trioxide aggregate) used to treat the nerve of a baby molar that has a deep cavity. The goal is to see which material works best to keep the tooth healthy, so you can avoid having the tooth pulled out early.
This trial tests a special chitosan dressing used during a partial root canal treatment (pulpotomy) for immature permanent front teeth. It may help the tooth continue to develop and heal without the need for more complex procedures.
