Two treatments for deep decay in children's back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways to treat deep decay in back molars of children aged 6–8: one removes only the damaged nerve (pulpotomy) using a special material, the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy) and fills the canal. The goal is to see which method works better at saving the tooth and reducing 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 tests a less invasive way to treat deep cavities in baby molars by leaving some decayed tooth material and sealing it to help the tooth heal. It aims to see if this approach works well and avoids more invasive treatments.
This study tests two materials used to treat deep cavities in baby molars that reach the nerve. The goal is to see which material works better to save the tooth and avoid pain or infection.
This trial tests two different ways to treat deep cavities in back baby teeth (molars) that are close to the nerve, to see which works better. It may help children who have cavities in both matching teeth on each side.
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 study compares two ways to treat severe cavities in baby teeth: removing only the infected part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all the nerve tissue (pulpectomy). It looks at which method helps the tooth heal better and stay healthy longer.
