Comparing two pastes for baby tooth root canals
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of paste used in root canal treatment for children's front baby teeth. One is a paste made from zinc oxide and olive oil, and the other is a standard dental paste called Metapex. The goal is to see if the new paste works as well as the standard one in treating infected baby teeth.

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.
This study compares two types of filling materials used in root canals of baby molars. It looks at which material works better when the tooth is prepared with either a manual file or a rotating dental tool. This could help children keep their baby teeth longer without pain or infection.
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 compares two treatments for baby molar teeth that have deep decay but are still healthy otherwise: a newer material called Neo-putty (a type of bioceramic material) versus a standard medicine called formocresol. The goal is to see which one works better to keep the tooth healthy and prevent further problems.
This study compares two treatments for infected baby molars in children aged 5-7. It aims to find which method better relieves pain and saves the tooth.
This study compares two rinsing solutions used during a children's 'baby tooth root canal' (called pulpectomy) to see which one is better at cleaning and preventing infection. It may help your child keep their baby molar until it naturally falls out.
