Pulpotomy success with different cavity locations in baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child's tooth pain is only brought on by eating, drinking, or touching (not constant).
- The cavity is deep but only in the outer and middle layers of the tooth, not all the way to the root.
- During the procedure, the dentist will check that the pulp (nerve) inside the root is healthy.
- You must agree to a small metal cap (stainless steel crown) placed on the treated tooth afterward.
- Your child can't have any major medical condition like heart disease or diabetes.
- You need to be willing to come back for check-ups.

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 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 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 study tests a procedure that removes only the top part of the tooth's nerve (pulpotomy) on painful lower molars in adults. The goal is to save the tooth using a special material (calcium silicate sealer) instead of a full root canal.
This study tests if a special rotary tool works better for treating infected baby molars. It looks at how the teeth heal and how well they can be saved.
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.
