Biomarkers for Differentiating Reversible and Irreversible Pulpitis

Current diagnosis of pulpal status relies primarily on clinical symptoms, sensibility tests, and radiographic findings, which may not always accurately reflect the underlying histopathological condition of the pulp. This study aims to investigate inflammatory, neurogenic, immunological, and oxidative stress biomarkers obtained from pulpal blood samples collected during routine dental treatment. Biomarker levels will be compared among teeth with normal pulp, reversible pulpitis, and irreversible pulpitis. The findings may contribute to the development of objective diagnostic tools for more accurate differentiation of pulpal conditions and improved treatment decision-making.
