Rotating tool vs. hand tool for infected baby tooth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two ways of cleaning and filling a severely infected baby tooth—one uses a single special rotating file, the other uses hand tools. It tests which method works better for children, with the goal of saving the tooth and avoiding pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between 4 and 6 years old, healthy, and cooperative for a dental appointment.
- The tooth in question must be a lower second baby molar that can be saved (it needs a simple filling or crown first).
- The tooth has signs of a severe infection deep inside (called irreversible pulpitis), but there must be no abscess or root damage seen on X-ray.
- Your child must be willing to come back for follow-up visits and your family must sign a consent form.

This study compares pain levels after two different root canal treatments for baby back teeth that have irreversible pulpitis (deep infection). It aims to find which method causes less discomfort afterward.
This trial tests whether a common dental procedure called pulpectomy (removing infected nerve tissue from a baby tooth) effectively reduces bacteria. It focuses on children ages 4–6 with a specific infected lower baby molar that is still restorable.
This study compares two tooth-cleaning liquids (calcium hypochlorite vs. saline) used during a pulpectomy (nerve removal in baby molars). It aims to see which one works better for treating deep cavities that have caused nerve damage in lower baby molars.
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.
This trial compares two treatments for severely infected baby molars: one uses a special paste (3Mixtatin) to save the nerve tissue, and the other uses a different paste (Metapex) to remove the nerve. The goal is to see which treatment works better to relieve pain and save the tooth.
