Faster, better baby tooth root canals? trial pits two rotary file systems Head-to-Head
NCT ID NCT07672990
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jul 02, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This trial compares two types of rotary files designed for children's primary molars: Fanta AF Baby and EndoArt Pedo Blue. The goal is to see which system prepares root canals faster and with better filling quality during a pulpectomy (removing infected pulp). Thirty children aged 4–8 with irreversible pulpitis in a lower baby molar will be treated, and the time taken and quality of the root filling will be measured.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Fanta AF Baby and EndoArt Pedo Blue pediatric rotary file systems
- What this could lead to
- If one system proves faster or more effective, it could improve dental care for children by reducing procedure time and enhancing root canal quality.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 30 children, so results may not apply broadly. Both systems are already in use, so major breakthroughs are unlikely.
