NCT ID NCT07756216
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called pulpotomy, which removes damaged pulp tissue to save a tooth, in children under 14 with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and deep decay. The goal is to see if this tooth-preserving approach can avoid root canals and keep the tooth functioning. Researchers will track clinical and x-ray success, as well as pain after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stepwise vital pulp therapy (partial or full pulpotomy) to preserve the dental pulp
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this procedure could save more teeth in children with MIH, avoiding root canals and extractions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. Success depends on the tooth's condition, and there is a risk of treatment failure requiring more invasive care.
