First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested three different materials (ProRoot MTA, NeoPUTTY MTA, and TheraCal PT) for a common dental procedure called pulpotomy in children aged 4-10. The goal was to see which material works best to save baby teeth with deep cavities. Researchers checked success by looking at pain, swelling, and X-ray results after 6 and 9 months.

Active substance
dental materials (ProRoot MTA, NeoPUTTY MTA, TheraCal PT)
What this could lead to
If one material proves superior, it could become the preferred choice for treating cavities in children's baby teeth, improving success rates and reducing discomfort.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed trial in healthy children, so results may not apply to all cases. The materials are already in use, so no major breakthrough is expected.
