Pulpotomy treatment for baby teeth using iron sulfate or MTA
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two materials (iron sulfate and a special cement called MTA) used during a pulpotomy—a procedure to treat cavities in baby molars when the nerve is exposed. It aims to find which material works better to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be generally healthy with no serious illnesses or allergies.
- Your child should be able to cooperate during the dental procedure.
- Your child needs a pulpotomy on a baby molar because of a cavity or accidental nerve exposure during drilling.
- You must give permission for your child to be in the study.
- The tooth must not show any signs of infection or nerve damage (like swelling, abscess, or dark spots on X-ray).
- The tooth must be restorable with a filling or crown after the procedure.
- Bleeding from the tooth should stop easily within a few minutes after removing the nerve tissue.

This study tests a new filling material for treating baby molars with deep cavities, to see if it helps keep the nerve healthy and avoid root canals or early tooth loss. Eligible children receive a nerve treatment (pulpotomy) and are monitored with x-rays and check-ups.
This study compares two ways to treat cavities that reach the nerve in lower baby molars. Both methods remove some or all of the infected nerve and then place a special paste (NeoPUTTY MTA) to help the tooth heal and stay healthy.
This study tests two different materials (MTA and Biodentin) used in a pulpotomy procedure for permanent teeth that have been exposed by a cavity. The goal is to see which material works better to preserve the tooth and reduce the need for more extensive treatment.
This trial compares two materials used in a procedure to save baby molars with deep cavities. The treatment keeps the nerve alive so the tooth can fall out naturally when the time comes.
This study compares two types of filling material (bioceramic putty MTA and regular MTA) used in a pulpotomy—a procedure to save a decayed young permanent molar by removing the infected nerve part and sealing the rest. It aims to see which material works better for keeping the tooth healthy and helping its roots develop normally.
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.
