New study tests simpler tooth treatment for Kids' cavities

NCT ID NCT07265063

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study compares two dental procedures for treating deep cavities in baby molars of children aged 6-8. One group gets a partial nerve treatment (pulpotomy) using a special cement, while the other gets a full root canal (pulpectomy) with a medicated paste. Researchers will track pain and success rates over a year to see which approach works better.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Calcium-Enriched Mixture (CEM) cement and Calcium Hydroxide/Iodoform paste (Metapex)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that a simpler, less invasive procedure (pulpotomy) works as well as the standard full root canal (pulpectomy) for treating infected baby teeth in children.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage trial with only 50 children, so results may not apply to all kids. The study hasn't started yet, and there's always a chance neither procedure works as hoped.
