Dental study seeks best way to fill Kids' cavities after pulpotomy
NCT ID NCT07243496
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how well tooth-colored fillings hold up in baby molars that have had a pulpotomy (a procedure to remove infected pulp) compared to similar fillings in teeth without pulpotomy. About 40 healthy children aged 3-9 will be followed for 24 months. The goal is to see if pulpotomy affects the success of the filling.
