New study could simplify Tooth-Saving treatment for kids
NCT ID NCT07230717
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study compares two dental procedures for treating infected baby molars in children aged 4 to 8. One method removes only the infected part of the tooth's nerve (pulpotomy), while the other removes the entire nerve (pulpectomy). The goal is to see if the simpler pulpotomy works as well as the more complex pulpectomy over 12 months, helping children keep their teeth healthy until they naturally fall out.
