Can a gentle pulp treatment rescue weak molars in kids?
NCT ID NCT07756216
First seen Aug 10, 2026 · Last updated Aug 13, 2026 · Updated 3 times
Summary
This study tests a procedure called pulpotomy, which removes damaged pulp tissue to save a tooth, in children under 14 with molar incisor hypomineralization (MIH) and deep decay. The goal is to see if this tooth-preserving approach can avoid root canals and keep the tooth functioning. Researchers will track clinical and x-ray success, as well as pain after the procedure.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Stepwise vital pulp therapy (partial or full pulpotomy) to preserve the dental pulp
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this procedure could save more teeth in children with MIH, avoiding root canals and extractions.
- What could go wrong
- This is a small, early-stage study. Success depends on the tooth's condition, and there is a risk of treatment failure requiring more invasive care.

Inclusion Criteria: * • The patient age \<14 years old * Non -contributory medical history * Molar tooth affected with MIH as per EAPD diagnostic criteria (17). * Deep caries extending\>= 2/3 of dentine or exposing the pulp on the radiograph * The tooth should give positive response to cold sensibility testing * Clinical diagnosis of reversible/irreversible pulpitis based on the symptoms and results of cold testing. * The tooth is restorable, probing pocket depth and mobility are within normal limits * No signs of pulpal necrosis including sinus tract or swelling Exclusion Criteria: * • Medically compromised patient. * Non-restorable tooth. * Signs of pulpal necrosis including sinus tract or swelling. * Uncooperative children who could not be treated under local anesthesia. * No enough bleeding after the pulpotomy procedure. * Inability to achieve hemostasis within 8 min after the pulpotomy.
