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.

This study tests a natural plant-based rinse used inside baby teeth that have infected nerves. The goal is to see if it works as well as standard medicines to control infection and help the tooth heal, so your child can keep their baby tooth until it naturally falls out.
This study compares two ways of cleaning the inside of infected baby molars during a root canal procedure. It aims to see if using ultrasonic waves helps remove infection better than standard cleaning, which may improve healing and reduce pain.
This study compares two treatments for infected baby molars in children aged 5-7. It aims to find which method better relieves pain and saves the tooth.
This study compares a newer, faster dental tool (single rotary file) with the traditional manual method for cleaning infected baby molars. It aims to see if the newer tool makes the procedure more comfortable and successful for children.
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 a special rotary instrument for cleaning infected baby molars in children aged 5-7. It may help reduce pain and improve treatment outcomes compared to standard methods.
