NCT ID NCT07343804
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at whether root canal treatment can reduce inflammation markers linked to heart disease in people with stable coronary artery disease and infected tooth roots. Eighty adults will either get immediate root canal treatment or wait three months. Researchers will measure blood levels of hs-CRP and IL-6 to see if treating the tooth infection lowers heart risk.

What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that treating tooth infections reduces inflammation and may lower heart disease risk.
