Summary
This early-stage study tested whether adding N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) to a standard dental procedure helps stem cells in the tooth grow roots to full maturity. The procedure involves cleaning the tooth and inducing bleeding to activate stem cells. The trial planned 14–18 healthy children and teens with immature, dead teeth, but was terminated early with only 7 participants. Results are limited.
