Comparing three pulp-protecting materials for children's back teeth
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests three materials used to protect the nerve of a decayed baby (permanent) tooth in children, helping it heal and continue growing. It compares two newer materials to an older standard one.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- The child is between 6 and 10 years old.
- The tooth is a permanent back tooth that is not fully grown (root not closed).
- The tooth's pulp (nerve) is exposed because of deep decay and is still alive (bleeds when touched).
- The tooth can be repaired with a filling or crown.
- The child does not have signs of severe infection like swelling or bone loss around the root.

This study compares two ways of treating badly infected or dead nerves in back baby teeth, to see which works better. It aims to relieve pain and save the teeth until they naturally fall out.
This study compares two ways to treat severe pain in baby molars (primary molars) in children. It tests a newer material (Neoputty MTA) against a standard one (Metapex) to see which works better in saving the tooth and relieving pain.
This study compares two materials used to treat deep decay in baby molars by preserving the nerve inside the tooth. The goal is to see which material works better and helps the tooth heal without pain or infection.
This study compares three different medicines used to treat decayed baby teeth when the nerve is still healthy but exposed due to decay. The goal is to find out which treatment works best to save the tooth and prevent pain or infection.
This study compares three materials used during a pulpotomy (a type of baby tooth nerve treatment) to see which works best for saving the tooth. It may help your child keep their baby tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
This study compares two materials (MTA and Biodentine) used to treat a painful, infected nerve in a back tooth. Instead of a full root canal, the dentist will remove only the top part of the nerve and seal it. The goal is to see which material works better to save your tooth.
