Comparing two treatments for deep cavities in baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests two different ways to treat deep cavities in back baby teeth (molars) that are close to the nerve, to see which works better. It may help children who have cavities in both matching teeth on each side.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 10 years old.
- Your child is generally healthy and has no other medical problems.
- The cavity is in a back baby tooth (molar) on both sides of the mouth and goes very deep, close to the nerve.
- The tooth can still be fixed with a filling or crown.
- The tooth has no history of pain that wakes your child up or comes on its own (only pain that stops when the cause is removed).
- X-rays show the cavity is in the inner half of the dentin (tooth layer just before the nerve).

This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
This study compares two ways to treat deep cavities in baby (primary) molars. One method places a special soothing medicine under a filling; the other uses a metal crown that covers the whole tooth. Both aim to keep the tooth healthy without needing a nerve treatment or extraction.
This study tests two materials used to treat deep cavities in baby molars that reach the nerve. The goal is to see which material works better to save the tooth and avoid pain or infection.
This study compares two ways of treating badly infected or dead nerves in back baby teeth, to see which works better. It aims to relieve pain and save the teeth until they naturally fall out.
This study tests a less invasive way to treat deep cavities in baby molars by leaving some decayed tooth material and sealing it to help the tooth heal. It aims to see if this approach works well and avoids more invasive treatments.
This study compares two treatments for deep cavities in baby molars that affect the tooth's nerve. It tests whether a natural material (chitosan) works as well as a standard one (formocresol) to save the tooth and avoid early loss.
