Olive oil tooth treatment tested in kids
NCT ID NCT07265089
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a new root canal filling made from zinc oxide and ozonated olive oil against a standard material called Metapex in children aged 3-5 with cavities in their front teeth. Over 12 months, researchers will check for pain, swelling, and healing on X-rays. The goal is to see if the natural alternative works just as well.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- zinc oxide-ozonated olive oil
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a natural alternative for filling children's root canals, potentially reducing the need for more invasive treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 52 children, so results may not apply to everyone. The new material might not heal as well as the standard one.
