NCT ID NCT07522268
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested if a laser can replace a chemical (ferric sulphate) in a common children's dental procedure called pulpotomy. 84 children aged 4-8 with baby molars were treated. The goal was to see if the laser works as well at stopping pain and infection, offering a non-drug option.
