Pain after baby tooth root canal treatment
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- The tooth can be fixed with a filling or crown.
- The tooth's root is not damaged or reabsorbed.

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.
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 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 study compares two different instrument techniques used during root canal treatment to see which one leads to less pain afterward. It aims to help people with a type of tooth infection called irreversible pulpitis find a more comfortable recovery.
This trial compares two ways to treat infected pulp in baby molars: removing all the pulp (pulpectomy) or removing only the top part (pulpotomy). It aims to see which causes less pain after the procedure.
This trial compares two dental treatments for “irreversible pulpitis,” a type of tooth-nerve pain that doesn’t settle on its own. It may help you by testing which approach works best for stopping symptoms and keeping the tooth stable.
