How French dentists treat infected or non-vital baby (primary) teeth

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational survey collects information from dental surgeons in France about their management of irreversible pulpitis, pulp necrosis, and apical periodontitis in primary teeth. It documents use of extraction, pulpectomy, and techniques such as lesion sterilization and tissue repair (LSTR), along with clinicians' reasons and reservations. Data collection is led by the University Hospital of Strasbourg and targets dentists who treat children; the registry's inclusion/exclusion text appears identical and likely reflects a clerical error. The project aims to map real-world practice patterns and barriers to wider adoption of validated conservative treatments.
