Understanding Tooth Inflammation Through Dental Samples
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older
- You need a tooth removed or treated by a dentist (root canal, extraction, or tooth removal for orthodontics, surgery, or gum disease)
- You have not taken anti-inflammatory pain relievers (like ibuprofen or aspirin) in the 12 hours before your dental appointment
- You are not under court-ordered legal guardianship or curatorship
- You have been told about the study and are willing to participate

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at natural substances in saliva, gum fluid, and dental pulp that help resolve inflammation. Researchers want to compare these markers between people with tooth pain (pulpitis) and healthy volunteers to better understand how the body heals tooth inflammation.
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.
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 trial measures two substances (neurokinin A and MMP-9) in the fluid around the root of an infected tooth. It aims to understand how these markers relate to severe tooth pain and infection, which could help improve diagnosis and treatment in the future.
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 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.
