First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at inflammation inside the tooth's inner tissue (dental pulp) in people with painful pulpitis compared to healthy individuals. Researchers will measure specific inflammation markers in saliva, gum fluid, and pulp tissue to see if they reflect the level of inflammation. The goal is to find out if simple saliva or oral fluid tests could one day help diagnose and monitor pulp inflammation without invasive procedures.
