Evaluation of Pulpal Biomarkers in Vital Pulp Therapy
Sponsor: ertuğrul karataş
Summary
This prospective clinical study aims to evaluate the association between the levels of selected pulpal biomarkers and the clinical success of vital pulp therapy in permanent teeth. Patients undergoing vital pulp therapy will be monitored over time, and biomarker expression levels will be analyzed in relation to treatment outcomes. The study intends to provide insight into the predictive value of pulp tissue biomarkers for long-term success in vital pulp procedures.

Interventions
Vital pulp therapy
Vital pulp therapy was performed using a calcium silicate-based material after caries removal and coronal pulp exposure. Hemostasis was achieved using sodium hypochlorite before placing the material. Permanent restoration was completed in the same session. Pulpal fluid samples were collected before the intervention to assess biomarker levels. The relationship between biomarker expression and the clinical success or longevity of the treated teeth was evaluated over time
