Pulp treatment for baby teeth with severe toothache
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Children must be between 4 and 9 years old.
- The child should be healthy and cooperative for dental procedures.
- The tooth must have a specific type of severe toothache called irreversible pulpitis.
- The tooth's nerve must still be alive and healthy enough to stop bleeding within 6 minutes after the top part is removed.
- The tooth must be able to get a full-coverage stainless steel crown after treatment.
- Any root resorption (natural dissolving of the tooth root) must be less than one-third of the root length.

This study compares two ways to treat a severely decayed baby tooth in children: removing just the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing the whole nerve (pulpectomy), to see which causes less pain after the procedure. Your child's participation could help find the best way to keep baby teeth comfortable and healthy.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain (irreversible pulpitis) in back molars: a partial root canal procedure called a pulpotomy versus a traditional full root canal. The goal is to see which treatment works better and helps you keep your tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain in baby molars. It aims to see which method works better to save the tooth and reduce pain.
This study tests a treatment called pulpotomy for adults with a deep cavity in a tooth that is causing pain. If you have a tooth that hurts but is still healthy enough to save, this treatment might help relieve the pain and keep the tooth.
This study looks at how much pain children feel after a pulpectomy (a procedure to remove infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth) in the lower back teeth. It will help find better ways to keep kids comfortable after the procedure.
This study looks at how well a common dental procedure (pulpectomy) removes bacteria from infected baby molars. It may help children keep their baby teeth until they naturally fall out, avoiding early tooth loss.
