Comparing two root canal pastes for infected baby molars in children
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of paste used to fill the roots of infected baby molars in children. It aims to see which paste works better at clearing the infection and keeping the tooth healthy until it falls out naturally.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child must be between 4 and 7 years old.
- The tooth must be a lower second baby molar that can be restored (filled) and has an infection around the root or in the area where the roots split.
- The infection must show up as an abscess, a sinus tract (a small tunnel draining pus), or a dark area on an X-ray.
- Your child must be generally healthy and not have any serious medical conditions.
- Your child must not have allergies to the materials used in the treatment.
- The tooth must not be too loose or have too much root damage that would make it better to pull it out.

This trial compares two treatments for severely infected baby molars: one uses a special paste (3Mixtatin) to save the nerve tissue, and the other uses a different paste (Metapex) to remove the nerve. The goal is to see which treatment works better to relieve pain and save the tooth.
This study tests a special dental paste (CTZ Paste) to treat severely decayed baby molars when the nerve is infected or dead. The goal is to save the tooth until the permanent tooth is ready to come in, using a simple treatment that works well in busy dental clinics.
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.
This study compares two treatments for deeply decayed baby molars where the nerve is inflamed but not dead. One treatment removes only the top part of the nerve and uses a special cement (CEM), while the other removes the whole nerve and fills the canal with a paste. The goal is to see which treatment works better to save the tooth and prevent infection.
This trial tests whether a special antibiotic paste or a medicine called simvastatin works better to treat infected baby molars in children. It aims to save the tooth and heal the infection without pulling it.
This trial tests whether a special antibiotic paste works better than the standard paste for treating dead nerves in baby molars. It aims to find a simpler and more effective way to save primary teeth from extraction.
