Treating dead baby molars with special medicines
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study tests different medicines to treat dead (necrotic) baby molars in children. The goal is to safely clean the infection and save the tooth so it can stay until it falls out naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 8 years old.
- Your child should be generally healthy and able to cooperate during dental visits.
- The tooth being treated must be a lower back baby tooth (mandibular primary molar) that is dead (necrotic) based on exam and X-ray.
- You (the parent) must agree to sign a consent form.
- Your child cannot be allergic to any of the medications used in the trial.
- The tooth must have enough healthy structure to be fixed with a stainless steel crown and not have a hole in the bottom of the pulp chamber.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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 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 trial tests whether a common dental procedure called pulpectomy (removing infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth) effectively reduces bacteria. It focuses on children ages 4–6 with a specific infected lower baby molar that is still restorable.
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.
This study tests a new paste made from zinc oxide and gingerol (a ginger extract) to treat infected baby molars. It may be an alternative to the standard antibiotic paste, with fewer antibiotics and potentially fewer side effects.
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.
