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.

- You are between 18 and 50 years old.

This study looks at certain substances (biomarkers) in the mouth for people with a long-term infection at the root tip of a tooth (apical periodontitis). It aims to better understand markers that might help with diagnosis or treatment follow-up.
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 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 tests if a special bioceramic medicine placed inside the tooth after root canal treatment can reduce pain and sudden flare-ups in people with controlled type 2 diabetes who have an infected single-rooted tooth with a small abscess at the tip.
This study tests whether diode laser (a type of focused light), gudmar (an herbal supplement), and vinegar can help treat tooth infections during root canal therapy in people with type 2 diabetes. The goal is to see if these treatments reduce infection and improve healing.
