Ultrasound cleaning vs. standard cleaning for infected baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests if using a special ultrasound cleaning method (ultrasonic activated irrigation) is better than standard cleaning for baby teeth with infection. It aims to improve the success of root canal treatment in children with infected baby molars.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 4 to 7 years old
- You have a baby back tooth that is decayed deep to the nerve
- You have had signs of infection (like swelling, abscess, or pus)
- The tooth is painful when tapped
- The tooth is a little loose (not too much)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study compares two tooth-cleaning liquids (calcium hypochlorite vs. saline) used during a pulpectomy (nerve removal in baby molars). It aims to see which one works better for treating deep cavities that have caused nerve damage in lower baby molars.
This study tests a special cleaning step during a baby-tooth pulpotomy to see if it helps the tooth heal better. It compares outcomes for cavities between the teeth versus on top.
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 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 compares two ways of cleaning and filling a severely infected baby tooth—one uses a single special rotating file, the other uses hand tools. It tests which method works better for children, with the goal of saving the tooth and avoiding pain.
This study tests three different materials (hyaluronic acid, TheraCal, and mineral trioxide aggregate) used to treat the nerve of a baby molar that has a deep cavity. The goal is to see which material works best to keep the tooth healthy, so you can avoid having the tooth pulled out early.
