Chitosan dressing for pulp treatment in immature teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This trial tests a special chitosan dressing used during a partial root canal treatment (pulpotomy) for immature permanent front teeth. It may help the tooth continue to develop and heal without the need for more complex procedures.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an immature permanent front tooth that is not fully grown.
- The tooth has a deep cavity or has been damaged by an injury.
- You are generally healthy (classified as ASA I).
- You are willing to agree to the treatment and return for check-ups over one year.
- The tooth does not have signs of infection at the root tip or gum disease, and has not been previously treated with a root canal.

This trial compares a new natural material (chitosan) to a standard one (formocresol) for a procedure that treats deep cavities in baby molars. The goal is to see which material helps heal the tooth nerve better.
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 tests three different materials (hyaluronic acid, TheraCal, and mineral trioxide aggregate) used to treat the nerve of a baby molar that has a deep cavity. The goal is to see which material works best to keep the tooth healthy, so you can avoid having the tooth pulled out early.
This trial tests a regenerative treatment for immature permanent teeth (front teeth with developing roots) in children and teens. The goal is to help the tooth's pulp heal and allow the root to continue growing naturally.
This study tests a new natural mouth rinse (chitosan) during root canal treatment for lower premolar teeth. Researchers want to see if it helps clean the tooth better than standard treatment.
This study tests two natural materials—chitosan hydrogel and platelet-rich fibrin—to see which one better helps a damaged tooth nerve heal after a partial pulp removal. If you have a painful lower molar that is fully grown, this may be a way to save the tooth without a root canal.
