Understanding tooth nerve inflammation through dental samples
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study looks at the tissue inside your tooth (the pulp, or nerve) to better understand inflammation. If you're having a root canal or tooth removal as part of your regular dental care, the dentist will collect a small sample of that tissue for research. This might help improve future treatments for tooth pain and infection.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are scheduled for a routine dental procedure that removes the pulp (nerve) of a tooth, such as a root canal or tooth extraction.
- You have not taken anti-inflammatory medication (like ibuprofen or aspirin) within 12 hours before the procedure.
- You are not under legal guardianship or curatorship.

This study looks at natural healing markers in saliva, gum fluid, and tooth pulp to understand tooth nerve pain better. It compares people with tooth nerve pain to healthy people to find ways to improve treatment.
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 compares two treatments for a tooth nerve that is very inflamed and causing lingering pain: a pulpotomy versus a full root canal. It may help you choose the approach that best relieves symptoms and supports healing for the right kind of tooth.
This study looks at certain proteins in the fluid around teeth and inside the tooth to see if they can tell the difference between healthy teeth and teeth with severe pulp inflammation (pulpitis). It may help find better ways to diagnose tooth pain.
This study looks at whether certain substances in the blood (called cytokines) can tell how inflamed the tooth's pulp is, and whether that affects how well a pulpotomy works. A pulpotomy is a procedure that removes the infected part of the nerve inside a baby tooth to save the tooth and avoid early loss.
This study looks at levels of two inflammation markers in the fluid around a painful tooth. It aims to see if these markers are higher when the tooth's nerve is damaged and there is an infection at the root tip, which may help in diagnosing and treating such pain.
