ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at two different treatments for children with dental issues in their primary molars, specifically when the tooth pulp (the soft tissue inside the tooth) is damaged or infected. The study aims to compare the traditional method of root canal treatment with a newer technique called lesion sterilization tissue repair. Both treatments are meant to help relieve pain and save the tooth.

To be eligible for this study, children must be between the ages of 3 and 8 years and have specific dental problems, such as severe tooth pain or an infection in their molars. They also need to be generally healthy and able to cooperate during the treatment. Parents will be asked to sign consent forms to ensure they understand what the study involves. If selected, participants can expect to receive one of the two treatments and will be monitored to see how well each method works in fixing their dental issues. This trial is not yet recruiting participants, but it aims to help improve dental care for young children in the future.
