Measurement of Pro-resolving Inflammation Biomarkers in Saliva, Gingival Fluid, and Dental Pulp in Patients With Symptomatic Pulpitis and Healthy Controls
Sponsor: Université de Nantes
Summary
This observational study aims to better understand inflammation inside the dental pulp (the inner tissue of the tooth) in patients with symptomatic pulpitis compared with healthy individuals. Researchers will measure inflammation-related biomarkers in saliva, gingival fluid, and dental pulp samples to determine whether these substances reflect the level of inflammation. The study also evaluates whether saliva and oral fluids could be used as simple, non-invasive tools to detect and monitor pulp inflammation. We hypothesize that patients with pulpitis will show different biomarker levels compared with healthy controls.
