NCT ID NCT06713174

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study measured two immune proteins, IL-8 and IL-10, in fluid from the gums and around the tooth root during root canal treatment. Researchers wanted to see how these levels change as treatment progresses in people with infected, dead tooth pulp. Twenty-two adults aged 18 to 45 with no other health conditions took part. The goal was to better understand the body's inflammatory response during this common dental procedure.
