New dental cement could save Kids' teeth without root canals
NCT ID NCT07522723
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests three special dental cements—Bio C Repair, Biodentine, and MTA—as treatments for irreversible pulpitis (nerve infection) in children's permanent molars. Sixty kids aged 6-10 will receive one of the materials after removing the infected pulp. The goal is to see which material best helps the tooth root finish growing and keeps the tooth healthy and pain-free.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- dental materials (Bio C Repair, Biodentine, Mineral Trioxide Aggregate)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide dentists with a reliable, less invasive treatment to save infected young permanent teeth and avoid extraction.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage trial with only 60 participants, and results may not apply to all cases. The materials may fail to control infection or promote root closure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Children aged 6-10 years with asymptomatic/symptomatic disease and having vital immature permanent posterior teeth with clinical exposure to dental caries of the pulp and bleeding. 2. Posterior teeth had deep caries with pulp exposure. 3. Posterior teeth that exhibited preoperative symptoms, such as referred pain, spontaneous pain or pain induced during thermal and cold sensitivity tests, with a range of symptoms that can last from seconds to hours compared to the control teeth. 4. Posterior teeth without prominent radiolucency in the furcation or periapical regions. 5. The posterior teeth could be restored. 6. Children with prior parental consent. Exclusion Criteria: * • (1) Patients with contraindications of the to-be-performed dental treatment. * (2) Teeth with completed VPT or RCT. * (3) Teeth with furcation, prominent radiolucency in the periapical regions, or external or internal resorption. * (4) Teeth with pulpitis attributed to tooth fracture, cracking, periodontitis or wedge-shaped defects. * (5) Teeth without any response to experiments of vitality. ( * 6\) Teeth with formed root/closed apex. * (7) Teeth with edema, fistula and excessive mobility not associated with periodontal disease.
