Summary

This study looks at two substances (Neurokinin A and MMP-9) in the fluid around teeth to see if they can help diagnose a painful tooth condition called symptomatic irreversible pulpitis with apical periodontitis. Researchers will compare levels in 23 adults who have one painful tooth and one healthy tooth. The goal is to find better ways to diagnose this condition and understand how pain relates to these markers.
