Bacteria reduction after baby tooth nerve treatment
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
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 should be in good general health with no long-term medical conditions.
- Your child should be able to stay calm and cooperative during dental treatment.
- The tooth being treated must be a lower second baby molar that has a deep infection inside the nerve (pulp) but no signs of infection spreading to the bone or gums.
- X-rays must show no damage to the roots or surrounding bone.

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.
This study compares two ways to save a painful permanent molar in children: removing just the top part of the nerve (pulpotomy) versus removing the whole nerve (root canal). It aims to see which treatment works better and is less stressful for kids.
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.
