Immune markers in tooth retreatments for diabetics
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study tests whether different ways of activating the immune system during root canal retreatment affect levels of certain immune markers (TLR9, IL6, IL10, TNF-alfa) in people with type 2 diabetes. If you need a repeat root canal on a front tooth or lower premolar, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 50 years old.
- You have type 2 diabetes with a recent HbA1c between 5.5% and 9.0%.
- You need a repeat root canal on a front tooth or lower premolar due to an infection at the root tip.
- You are not pregnant, not a smoker, and have no active gum disease or other immune-related conditions.
- You have not taken antibiotics in the last month or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last week.

This study looks at certain markers in your mouth that might be linked to a chronic (long-lasting) infection after a root canal. By checking these markers, researchers hope to better understand healing and possibly improve future treatment — so it could help you by giving you more insight into your own condition.
This study tests two different ways of cleaning and treating a tooth that had a root canal treatment before. Researchers want to see which method causes less pain after the procedure.
This study looks at how diabetes might affect tooth root infections (apical periodontitis) and blood sugar control. It compares people with and without diabetes to see if there is a link.
This study tests if adding an antibiotic (Arestin) to standard gum cleaning can improve gum health and blood sugar control in people with type 2 diabetes.
This study tests whether a less invasive tooth infection treatment (complete pulpotomy) works as well as a standard root canal for people with type 2 diabetes. It is designed for adults with a specific blood sugar level who have an infected lower back tooth.
This study compares how well initial root canal treatments and repeat root canals work over time using clinical exams and X-rays. It aims to see which approach leads to better healing and pain relief for patients with tooth infections or damage.
