Comparing two treatments for infected baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for a deeply infected baby molar tooth in children ages 4–9. One treatment removes only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) with a special material, while the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better to save the tooth and prevent pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child's tooth has pain that comes on its own and lasts for a while, even after hot or cold is removed.
- The tooth is a baby (primary) molar that can be fixed with a silver cap.
- Any root dissolving (resorption) in the tooth is less than one-third of the normal root length.
- No signs of infection like swelling, a gum bump, or tooth looseness.
- The dentist will check that the inner part of the tooth (pulp) is healthy and stops bleeding quickly with a special solution.

This trial compares two treatments for baby molars with severe nerve pain (irreversible pulpitis). One option removes only the infected nerve tissue in the crown, while the other removes all the nerve tissue. Both use special materials to seal the tooth.
This study compares two treatments for baby molars with a damaged or dead nerve: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a complete nerve removal (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better and helps save the tooth.
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 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.
This study compares two treatments for badly inflamed baby molars: a newer method called pulpotomy (removing only the top part of the nerve) versus the standard pulpectomy (removing the whole nerve). It aims to see which one works better and lasts longer for children.
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.
