Comparing two pastes for infected baby molars in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a special antibiotic paste or a medicine called simvastatin works better to treat infected baby molars in children. It aims to save the tooth and heal the infection without pulling it.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is 5 to 8 years old and generally healthy.

This study tests three different medicines placed inside baby molars after removing the infected pulp to see which works best against bacteria and helps the tooth heal. It may help children with painful, infected baby teeth avoid early tooth loss.
This study compares two treatments for children's dead or infected back teeth (molars). One treatment uses a special antibiotic paste to sterilize the area, while the other uses a traditional filling material. The goal is to see which one works better for saving the tooth and reducing pain.
This study tests a new paste made from zinc oxide and gingerol (a ginger extract) to treat infected baby molars. It may be an alternative to the standard antibiotic paste, with fewer antibiotics and potentially fewer side effects.
This study tests a mixture of olive oil and zinc oxide to treat infected baby molars. It aims to see if this natural treatment works as well as standard medicine for stopping infection and saving the tooth.
