Description
Ulrike Urmann and eight co-authors run in 2026 a pilot trial comparing three cements for sealing baby molars after pulp removal in deep decay. Each child in the split-mouth design gets a different cement in each treated tooth. Care takes place under general anesthesia for young children.
Thirty-three children aged two to six each have three decayed molars treated and capped with steel crowns. All 84 teeth stay in place and symptom-free for ten months. One cement applies far fastest, at about 76 seconds per tooth. Another costs least per treatment. Quality of life scores are tracked by parent survey. The pilot sets up a larger trial on cost, speed, and durability.
