Pain after baby tooth nerve treatment in children
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Child is between 4 and 6 years old.

- The tooth is not loose, not painful when tapped, and has no swelling around it.
- X-ray shows no damage to the tooth root or the bone around it (no infection or root abnormalities).
- Parent is willing to sign consent and bring the child to follow-up visits.

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 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 compares two treatments for a painful, severely decayed back tooth in teenagers: a newer nerve-preserving procedure (partial pulpotomy) versus standard root canal treatment. The goal is to see if the less invasive option works just as well at relieving pain and saving the tooth.
This study compares two ways to treat a severely decayed baby tooth in children: removing just the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing the whole nerve (pulpectomy), to see which causes less pain after the procedure. Your child's participation could help find the best way to keep baby teeth comfortable and healthy.
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 ways to treat severe tooth pain in baby molars: one removes only the damaged part of the nerve, and the other removes the entire nerve (standard treatment). The goal is to see if the less invasive method works as well.
