Comparing two treatments for infected baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for severely infected baby molars: one uses a special paste (3Mixtatin) to save the nerve tissue, and the other uses a different paste (Metapex) to remove the nerve. The goal is to see which treatment works better to relieve pain and save the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 9 years old.
- The tooth is a back baby tooth (molar) that has a deep cavity causing severe pain, including pain that lasts after hot or cold drinks.
- The nerve inside the tooth bleeds when the dentist opens it, and the bleeding stops within 8 minutes with a special solution.
- X-rays show no infection at the roots or around the tooth.
- Your child is generally healthy, cooperative, and you agree to a stainless steel crown and follow-up visits.

This trial compares two materials used in a procedure to save baby molars with deep cavities. The treatment keeps the nerve alive so the tooth can fall out naturally when the time comes.
This study compares two types of paste used to fill the roots of infected baby molars in children. It aims to see which paste works better at clearing the infection and keeping the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
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.
This study compares two materials (NeoMTA and NeoPUTTY) used to treat deep cavities in baby molars that are close to the nerve. It aims to see which works better to keep the tooth healthy and avoid pain or infection.
This trial tests two medicines, oxymetazoline and sodium hypochlorite, to see which works better to stop bleeding and help heal baby molars after a pulp treatment. It is for children aged 4 to 8 years who have a cavity in a lower baby molar but no signs of nerve damage or infection.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
