Pulp health and blood markers study
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood from a tooth's pulp can help tell the difference between a healthy tooth, a tooth with mild inflammation (reversible pulpitis), and a tooth with more serious inflammation (irreversible pulpitis). You may be asked to donate a small amount of pulp blood during a dental procedure.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 14 and 50 years old
- You have a tooth that is either healthy, has mild pain that doesn't linger, or has strong pain that lingers after cold or sweet stimuli
- You have no serious medical conditions (like diabetes or heart disease)
- You have not taken painkillers or antibiotics in the last week
- You are not pregnant
- Your tooth can be saved and has not already had root canal treatment or deep decay that exposed the nerve

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at proteins in the fluid around your tooth and inside your tooth. It compares people with healthy teeth to those with a certain type of toothache caused by pulpitis. This could help doctors understand how to diagnose and treat tooth pain better.
This study looks at whether certain signs in your tooth can help predict if a special type of filling (pulpotomy) will work for deep cavities in back teeth. It may help find the best treatment for you.
This study looks at how tooth symptoms and the depth of a cavity affect outcomes when dentists remove only part of the decayed tissue. You might benefit by getting care guided by careful tooth testing and dental imaging, while contributing to better treatment decisions for deep cavities.
This research study examines how your genes affect pain and inflammation when you have a painful tooth that needs root canal treatment. By studying these responses, researchers hope to better understand why some people experience different levels of pain during dental procedures.
This study collects small tissue samples from your tooth during routine dental work to better understand how inflammation happens in teeth. Researchers will study these samples to learn more about tooth pain and disease.
This trial tests if a metabolic biomarker can predict how well a vital pulp treatment works for tooth pain caused by deep cavities. It aims to help patients keep their natural teeth instead of needing root canals.
