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.
