Tooth inflammation markers may predict treatment success
NCT ID NCT07261761
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 40 people with tooth inflammation (reversible or irreversible pulpitis) to see if certain immune markers in the blood (IL-8 and IL-10) could predict how well a tooth-saving treatment (vital pulp therapy) works. Participants received the therapy, and researchers checked for pain and healing using scans. The goal was to understand if these markers help diagnose the severity of inflammation and guide treatment decisions.
