A simpler dental treatment for children's tooth pain
Part of Infections, Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study tests a quick and simple dental filling material for children's baby teeth that are badly decayed or infected. It may help avoid more complex procedures and save the tooth until it falls out naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child is between the ages of 3 and 12 (or a pediatric patient).
- Your child has a baby molar (back tooth) that is severely decayed or infected, but the tooth can still be saved.
- The permanent tooth underneath is not too far along in its development (usually before the roots have started to form).
- Your child is not allergic to the materials used in the paste (chloramphenicol, tetracycline, zinc oxide, or eugenol).
- The tooth does not have internal root damage that would prevent treatment.
