ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at how much pain children experience after two different dental procedures for a condition called irreversible pulpitis, which is a serious tooth problem affecting primary molars (the big teeth in the back of the mouth). The study will compare post-operative pain levels between two treatments: pulpotomy (removing part of the tooth's pulp) and pulpectomy (removing all of the pulp).

To participate in this trial, children must be healthy and have a primary tooth with irreversible pulpitis. They should also be cooperative during the dental procedures. Unfortunately, children who have any mental, physical, or medical issues, or who struggle to cooperate, won't be eligible. If your child qualifies and chooses to participate, they will receive one of the two treatments, and their pain levels will be monitored afterward. This research aims to help improve dental care for children facing this painful condition.
