NCT ID NCT07333872

First seen Jan 12, 2026

Summary

This study compares three dental procedures—pulpotomy, partial pulpotomy, and direct pulp capping—all using a material called MTA, to treat deep cavities in children's baby molars. The goal is to see which technique best preserves the tooth, prevents pain, and avoids infection. The trial involves 96 healthy children aged 4-7 years with reversible pulpitis, and will track outcomes like pain, X-ray changes, and signs of infection.
