New antibiotic paste could replace root canals in Kids' teeth
NCT ID NCT06811636
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two treatments for infected baby molars in children aged 3 to 8: a less invasive method using a triple antibiotic paste versus a standard root canal with a calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste. The goal is to see which approach better relieves pain, swelling, and infection signs over time. Researchers will check both clinical symptoms and X-ray results to determine success.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
triple antibiotic paste and calcium hydroxide-iodoform paste
What this could lead to
If successful, this could offer a simpler, less invasive option for treating infected baby teeth in children, potentially avoiding the need for full root canals.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 74 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The antibiotic paste might not fully clear the infection, and there is a risk of allergic reactions or tooth damage.
