Shellfish gel takes on standard dental cements in kids' tooth-saving showdown
NCT ID NCT07541976
First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026
Summary
This study compares three materials used to treat deep cavities in children's baby molars: a standard dental cement (MTA), a bleeding stopper (ferric sulfate), and a natural gel from shellfish (chitosan hydrogel). 165 children aged 5-8 will receive one of these treatments and be followed for 18 months with exams and X-rays to see which material keeps the tooth healthy longest. The goal is to help dentists choose the best option for saving baby teeth.
