Ginger paste vs. antibiotics for infected baby molars
Treatments studied
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a new paste made from zinc oxide and gingerol (a ginger extract) to treat infected baby molars. It may be an alternative to the standard antibiotic paste, with fewer antibiotics and potentially fewer side effects.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests a mixture of olive oil and zinc oxide to treat infected baby molars. It aims to see if this natural treatment works as well as standard medicine for stopping infection and saving the tooth.
This study tests different medicines to treat dead (necrotic) baby molars in children. The goal is to safely clean the infection and save the tooth so it can stay until it falls out naturally.
This study compares two types of filling materials (ZOE and ZON) used in a procedure called pulpectomy (like a root canal for baby teeth) in 5-to-7-year-old children. The goal is to see which works better for saving infected baby molars.
This trial tests two medicines, oxymetazoline and sodium hypochlorite, to see which works better to stop bleeding and help heal baby molars after a pulp treatment. It is for children aged 4 to 8 years who have a cavity in a lower baby molar but no signs of nerve damage or infection.
This study compares two treatments for saving a decayed baby back tooth: a newer material called Neo Putty MTA and a standard medicine called formocresol. Both are used during a procedure (pulpotomy) that removes the infected part of the tooth nerve to keep the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
This trial tests three different medicines placed inside infected baby molars to see which one works best to kill bacteria and help the tooth heal. It may help children with a dead nerve in a baby tooth that is causing pain or infection.
