First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tested a new way to treat children aged 6 to 18 who have a dead nerve in an immature tooth. The new method uses a material called MTA to help the tooth form a hard barrier, compared to the standard treatment with calcium hydroxide. The goal was to see which method works better at closing the tooth root over 12 months.
