Summary

This study compares two dental treatments—pulpotomy and pulpectomy—for deep cavities in baby teeth that cause pain. About 40 children aged 4 to 6 will receive one of the treatments. Researchers will check x-rays and symptoms to see which approach works better and is more comfortable for the child.
