Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
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.

Summary

This study compares two pastes used to sterilize infections and repair tissue in baby molars that have died. One paste contains zinc oxide mixed with 6-gingerol (a compound from ginger), and the other is a standard triple antibiotic paste. Sixty children aged 4 to 8 with at least two infected baby molars will be treated and followed for pain and tooth mobility. The goal is to see if the ginger-based paste works as well as antibiotics, potentially offering a more natural option.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
zinc oxide/6-gingerol mix
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a natural alternative to antibiotics for treating infected baby teeth, reducing antibiotic use.
What could go wrong
This is a small early-stage trial with only 60 children, so results may not apply broadly. The ginger-based paste might be less effective than the standard antibiotic paste.
