Olive oil and zinc oxide for baby tooth root canals
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 7 years old and otherwise healthy.
- The two baby molars on the bottom that need treatment are infected (the nerve is dead or there is pus or bleeding).
- There is pain when tapping the tooth, or a pimple on the gum, or the tooth is slightly loose.
- The tooth can still be fixed with a filling or crown.
- X-rays show the infection is not too far into the bone between the roots.
