Comparing Treatments for Baby Molars With Nerve Damage
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two treatments for baby molars with a damaged or dead nerve: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a complete nerve removal (pulpectomy). The goal is to see which works better and helps save the tooth.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be in good general health (no serious medical conditions).
- The tooth must be a baby molar in the back of the mouth.
- The tooth must have a serious nerve problem (either a long-lasting toothache or a dead nerve).
- There must be two matching molars on opposite sides of the mouth that both need treatment.
- The tooth must not be too loose or have too much root damage.
- The tooth must be fixable with a filling or crown.

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.
This trial compares two treatments for baby molars with severe nerve pain (irreversible pulpitis). One option removes only the infected nerve tissue in the crown, while the other removes all the nerve tissue. Both use special materials to seal the tooth.
This trial compares two treatments for a tooth nerve that is very inflamed and causing lingering pain: a pulpotomy versus a full root canal. It may help you choose the approach that best relieves symptoms and supports healing for the right kind of tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain from advanced decay: a partial nerve removal (pulpotomy) versus a full root canal treatment. It aims to find which approach works better for saving the tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
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.
