Laser and new dental materials could save baby teeth from extraction
NCT ID NCT07276685
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested two dental materials, TheraCal PT and Biodentine, for pulpotomy (removing infected pulp) in baby teeth of 60 children aged 6-9. It also examined whether adding low-level laser therapy improves success. The goal was to see which approach keeps the tooth healthy and pain-free until it naturally falls out.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Biodentine, TheraCal PT, and low-level laser therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a better, less painful way to treat cavities in baby teeth and preserve them until they fall out naturally.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 children, so results may not apply to all kids. The treatments are for baby teeth, not permanent teeth, and long-term benefits are limited.
