Comparing fillings for baby molar root canals
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be generally healthy and cooperative for dental work.
- The baby molar (back tooth) must be able to be saved with a filling or crown.
- The tooth should not be loose or have bone loss around the root due to infection.
- The root of the tooth must not be more than two-thirds dissolved (no severe resorption).

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 compares two child-friendly ways to fix cavities in baby molars (back teeth) without drills or needles. It aims to find which method works better and lasts longer for children ages 4 to 6.
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 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 study tests two gentle ways to treat cavities in baby teeth: the Hall Technique (placing a metal cap without drilling) and Atraumatic Restorative Treatment (removing decay with hand tools). Both aim to keep your child's teeth healthy and pain-free.
