ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how effective two different materials, NeoPutty® and Biodentine™, are for treating certain dental issues in children and teenagers. Specifically, the study will focus on young patients aged 9 to 14 who have mature front teeth that are experiencing pulpitis, which is inflammation of the dental pulp often caused by deep cavities or trauma. The goal is to see how these materials compare to traditional root canal treatment over a period of 12 months.

To participate, children must have healthy front teeth with severe cavities or injuries that have exposed the pulp, but they should not have any signs of infection or other serious dental problems. Parents and guardians should also be aware that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, meaning it hasn't started enrolling children yet. If eligible, participants will receive treatment and have follow-up visits at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months to assess the success of the procedures. This study could help improve treatment options for young patients with dental pulp issues.
