NCT ID NCT06023901
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 185 people to compare inflammation markers in those with tooth infections (apical periodontitis), gum disease (chronic periodontitis), and healthy gums. Researchers measured substances like TNF-α and PGE2 in blood and gum fluid. The goal was to better understand how these conditions work, not to test a new treatment.
