Growth Factor vs Mineral Trioxide for Kids' Permanent Teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for children’s permanent back teeth with severe, painful nerve inflammation (irreversible pulpitis). It aims to find which approach works better to save the tooth and relieve pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The tooth must be a permanent molar (back tooth) that is fully grown in (closed root tip).
- The tooth must have irreversible pulpitis (inflamed nerve that won’t heal).
- Your child must not have any medical conditions that require special care.
- The tooth must be restorable (can be fixed with a filling or crown).
- The tooth must still be alive (not dead/necrotic).

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study tests whether a special protein-rich gel (L-PRF) combined with a tooth-repairing mineral (nanohydroxyapatite) can help save a painful back molar tooth by treating the nerve inside, instead of removing it. The goal is to see if this treatment stops pain and keeps the tooth healthy.
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.
This trial tests two different materials to treat the inflamed pulp in your back teeth. It compares a special type of blood concentrate (I-PRF) with a mix of nano MTA and blood concentrate to see which is better at saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This trial compares two treatments for severely decayed molars in teenagers: a partial pulp procedure versus a full root canal. It may help teens with intense tooth pain find a gentler alternative to traditional root canal therapy.
This study tests a new filling material for treating baby molars with deep cavities, to see if it helps keep the nerve healthy and avoid root canals or early tooth loss. Eligible children receive a nerve treatment (pulpotomy) and are monitored with x-rays and check-ups.
This trial compares two different materials used to treat the inner part of a decayed molar tooth when the nerve is inflamed but still alive. The study tests whether a natural plant-based material works as well as the standard treatment (MTA) to save your tooth.
