Zinc oxide-ozonated olive oil vs Metapex for baby teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial compares two materials used in root canal treatment for baby front teeth. One is a mix of zinc oxide and ozonated olive oil, and the other is a standard medicine called Metapex. The goal is to see which works better for children who need this treatment.

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 (ZOE and ZON) used in a procedure called pulpectomy (like a root canal for baby teeth) in 5-to-7-year-old children. The goal is to see which works better for saving infected baby molars.
This trial tests two medicines, oxymetazoline and sodium hypochlorite, to see which works better to stop bleeding and help heal baby molars after a pulp treatment. It is for children aged 4 to 8 years who have a cavity in a lower baby molar but no signs of nerve damage or infection.
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 compares two treatments for saving a decayed baby back tooth: a newer material called Neo Putty MTA and a standard medicine called formocresol. Both are used during a procedure (pulpotomy) that removes the infected part of the tooth nerve to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
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.
