First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares eggshell powder to Biodentine for treating tooth pulp exposure in children's baby molars. Thirty kids with deep cavities but no infection will get a pulpotomy, where the damaged pulp is removed and the material is placed. Researchers will check for pain, swelling, and bone health over time to see if eggshell powder works as well as the standard treatment.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
eggshell powder
What this could lead to
If it works, eggshell powder could become a cheap, natural option for treating tooth pulp exposure in children's baby teeth.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early trial with only 30 children, so results may not apply widely. Eggshell powder may not work as well as standard materials.
