Biomarkers study for chronic apical periodontitis
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be male and between 18 and 35 years old.
- You must have a chronic (long-term) infection at the tip of a front tooth, canine, or single-root premolar.
- You must have had root canal treatment at least 4 years ago on that tooth.
- The infection spot (lesion) at the root tip must be smaller than 1 cm.
- You cannot have diabetes, blood disorders, or need antibiotics before dental work.
- You must not have taken antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs in the last month.

This study looks at which factors can change how well root canal (endodontic) treatment works. It may help improve future care by understanding what leads to better healing.
This study looks at special proteins in the fluid around your gums to understand how gum disease develops in young people. By studying these markers, researchers hope to better understand and treat gum inflammation.
This study looks at markers of bone damage and stress in people with gum disease around dental implants (peri-implantitis). It aims to understand how the body responds, which could help improve treatment.
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.
This study examines how certain proteins in your body help teeth heal after root canal treatment. Researchers will monitor your tooth's recovery to understand what supports successful healing.
This study looks for new markers in the body that could help diagnose gum disease. It's for adults with mild gum problems who haven't had recent dental treatment or antibiotics.
