ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is researching a new way to treat toothaches in young children caused by a serious condition called irreversible pulpitis, which means the nerve in the tooth is damaged. The study is testing a mixture of garlic oil and zinc oxide as a filling material for root canals in primary molars (the back teeth) of children aged 4 to 8 years. Researchers want to see if this garlic oil mixture works as well as the standard filling material, known as metapex, by comparing the success of both treatments.

To participate in this trial, children must have specific dental issues, such as a diagnosed tooth infection or damage to the tooth nerve, and certain signs like swelling or bleeding. However, children with more severe tooth problems or those whose teeth are too loose to treat will not be included. If eligible, participants can expect to receive either the garlic oil mixture or the standard treatment, and researchers will monitor their recovery and the effectiveness of the filling material. This study is still in the planning stages and has not started recruiting participants yet.
