Comparing three materials for baby tooth pulp treatment
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 8 years old.
- Your child can cooperate with the dentist during the procedure.
- Your child has at least one lower second baby molar that needs nerve treatment because of a deep cavity.
- The tooth can be fixed with a stainless steel crown afterward.
- There is no swelling, soreness to tapping, or pain that starts on its own in that tooth.
- The dentist confirms the bleeding during the procedure stops normally.
- X-rays show no signs of damage around the tooth root.

This trial tests a gel made from hyaluronic acid (a natural substance that helps healing) against a standard material (MTA) for treating the nerve in baby molars. It aims to see if the hyaluronic acid gel works as well for saving the tooth.
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 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.
This study compares two materials (NeoMTA and NeoPUTTY) used to treat deep cavities in baby molars that are close to the nerve. It aims to see which works better to keep the tooth healthy and avoid pain or infection.
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 saving a decayed baby back tooth: a newer material called Neo Putty MTA and a standard medicine called formocresol. Both are used during a procedure (pulpotomy) that removes the infected part of the tooth nerve to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
