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 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 a newer, faster dental tool (single rotary file) with the traditional manual method for cleaning infected baby molars. It aims to see if the newer tool makes the procedure more comfortable and successful for children.
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.
This study tests a new tooth-colored filling material that may help fight bacteria after a common treatment for deep cavities in baby molars. It aims to see if the material works well and keeps the tooth healthy.
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 three materials used during a pulpotomy (a type of baby tooth nerve treatment) to see which works best for saving the tooth. It may help your child keep their baby tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
