Pelargonium graveolens essential oil as a pulpotomy agent for 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

The trial evaluates the use of Pelargonium graveolens essential oil as an alternative pulpotomy medicament in restorable primary molars with reversible pulpitis. It focuses on safety and performance compared with standard expectations for maintaining tooth vitality and structure. The approach leverages the oil’s antimicrobial and biocompatible properties, aiming to reduce inflammation and promote favorable healing. Participants are children requiring pulpotomy in primary molars, with careful screening for radiographic and clinical criteria. The investigation adheres to clinical research standards and prioritizes patient safety and ethical considerations.
