Comparing two gentle cavity treatments for children
Part of Mouth & dental, Pain clinical trials.
This study compares two gentle ways to remove tooth decay in children's baby molars (back teeth) without using a drill. Both methods aim to remove the cavity with minimal discomfort, and this trial will see which method causes less pain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child should be between 5 and 9 years old.
- Your child must have a cavity (tooth decay) on the chewing surface of a back baby tooth, but no pain or swelling in that tooth.
- Your child should be generally healthy.
- You (the parent or guardian) must sign a consent form.
- The tooth cannot have been previously filled or sealed, and there should be no other dental problems like gum disease or enamel defects.

This study compares two ways to treat deep decay in back molars of children aged 6–8: one removes only the damaged nerve (pulpotomy) using a special material, the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy) and fills the canal. The goal is to see which method works better at saving the tooth and reducing pain.
This study compares two kinds of tooth-colored crowns for baby molars to see which one keeps gums healthier and reduces bacteria buildup. It helps parents choose a better option for their child's cavity treatment.

This trial compares a gentle chemical method for removing tooth decay with the traditional drilling method. The goal is to see which approach causes less anxiety, especially for people who are nervous about dental procedures.
This study tests two materials used to treat decayed baby molars by removing the nerve and filling the tooth. It aims to see which material works better to keep the tooth healthy and pain-free.
This study compares two treatments for baby molar teeth that have deep decay but are still healthy otherwise: a newer material called Neo-putty (a type of bioceramic material) versus a standard medicine called formocresol. The goal is to see which one works better to keep the tooth healthy and prevent further problems.
