Summary

This study compares mustard gel, made from black mustard seeds, to a standard dental material (MTA) for treating deep cavities in baby molars. 72 children aged 6-8 will receive one of the two treatments after the damaged nerve is removed. The goal is to see if mustard gel can keep the tooth pain-free and healthy on X-rays for up to 3 months, offering a cheaper and natural alternative.

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a low-cost, natural option for treating deep cavities in baby teeth, reducing the need for expensive materials.
