Bacteria reduction after pulp treatment in baby molars
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be 4 to 6 years old.
- Your child should be in good general health, with no serious illnesses.
- Your child should be able to stay calm and cooperate during dental treatment.
- The tooth being treated must be a lower second molar (a back tooth) that has deep decay and is painful (irreversible pulpitis) and can be restored.
- X-rays must show no signs of infection at the root tips or between the roots, and no root resorption (the tooth root should be intact).

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 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 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 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.
