Comparing two ways to treat infected baby molars in young children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 6 years old
- Your child must be generally healthy and able to cooperate during dental work
- The tooth to be treated must be a lower second baby molar (the one toward the back) with signs of nerve damage that is still restorable
- X-rays must show no root damage, infection at the root tip, or between roots
- Your child must not have swelling, tooth mobility, pain when tapping the tooth, or have had this tooth previously opened
- You must be willing to sign consent and attend follow-up visits

This trial tests a special rotary instrument for cleaning infected baby molars in children aged 5-7. It may help reduce pain and improve treatment outcomes compared to standard methods.
This study looks at how well a common dental procedure (pulpectomy) removes bacteria from infected baby molars. It may help children keep their baby teeth until they naturally fall out, avoiding early tooth loss.
This study looks at how much pain children feel after a pulpectomy (a procedure to remove infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth) in the lower back teeth. It will help find better ways to keep kids comfortable after the procedure.
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 compares two ways to treat severe tooth pain in baby molars. It aims to see which method works better to save the tooth and reduce pain.
This study compares two ways to treat severe tooth decay in baby molars: removing only the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing all of the nerve (pulpectomy). It aims to see which method works better for saving the tooth and relieving pain.
