NCT ID NCT07260357
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.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- 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.
