Comparing two treatments for infected baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of treating badly infected or dead nerves in back baby teeth, to see which works better. It aims to relieve pain and save the teeth until they naturally fall out.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be in overall good health
- They need to have two matching back baby teeth (one on each side) that are severely infected or have dead nerves
- There may be signs of infection like a gum bump or small abscess
- The affected teeth should be loose only a tiny bit or not loose at all
- The teeth should be repairable with a filling or crown

This study compares two ways to treat severe pain in baby molars (primary molars) in children. It tests a newer material (Neoputty MTA) against a standard one (Metapex) to see which works better in saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars that has reached the nerve. One method removes part of the nerve and puts a special material on it; the other removes all the nerve and fills it with a different material. The goal is to see which approach saves the tooth better and relieves pain.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
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 tests three materials used to protect the nerve of a decayed baby (permanent) tooth in children, helping it heal and continue growing. It compares two newer materials to an older standard one.
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.
