Dentists test two Pulp-Saving methods for Kids' deep cavities
NCT ID NCT07382115
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compared two dental treatments for deep cavities in children's baby molars: indirect pulp treatment and direct pulp capping. Both used a special material (MTA) and a crown. Forty-five healthy children aged 7-9 took part, and the success was checked after 6 and 12 months using X-rays and exams. The goal was to see which method works better to save the tooth and avoid pain or infection.
