What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed This study
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published

Summary

This study tested two dental materials, TheraCal PT and Biodentine, for pulpotomy (removing infected pulp) in baby teeth of 60 children aged 6-9. It also examined whether adding low-level laser therapy improves success. The goal was to see which approach keeps the tooth healthy and pain-free until it naturally falls out.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Biodentine, TheraCal PT, and low-level laser therapy
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a better, less painful way to treat cavities in baby teeth and preserve them until they fall out naturally.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with only 60 children, so results may not apply to all kids. The treatments are for baby teeth, not permanent teeth, and long-term benefits are limited.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Healthy children aged between 6 and 9 years. Primary molars with carious exposures requiring pulpotomy treatment. Teeth with vital pulp confirmed by the absence of spontaneous pain and the presence of normal bleeding after coronal pulp removal. Teeth with restorable crowns suitable for stainless steel crown restoration. Cooperative patients who can attend all follow-up appointments. Exclusion Criteria: Teeth with signs of irreversible pulpitis or necrosis (e.g., spontaneous or nocturnal pain). Teeth with internal or external root resorption, furcal or periapical radiolucency. Non-restorable teeth or those with excessive loss of crown structure. Patients with systemic diseases or on long-term medication that could affect healing.
