A Narrative on Inflammatory Biomarkers in Endodontics

ABSTRACTOne of the most common diseases causing the destruction of enamel and remaining tooth structure is dental caries which further leads to pulpal and periapical inflammation if not treated. As tools for revealing important factors in identifying targets disease and pathophysiology for the evolution of prevention and treatment strategies, molecular and cellular biology plays a pivotal role. Finding an accurate diagnosis that will serve as the foundation for effective treatment continues to be one of the key issues in endodontics. Inflammatory biomarkers play a diverse and broad role in endodontics, with the potential to become a key factor in determining treatment plans by assisting in diagnosis and prognosis. Inflammatory biomarkers have the potential to become a key factor in determining treatment plans by assisting in diagnosis and prognosis. Endodontists are still divided on issues such as vital pulp therapy versus traditional root canal therapy and retreatment versus periapical surgery. Furthermore, clinical challenges such as determining the appropriate tissue fluid to analyse, establishing a precise inflammatory threshold, and delivering results at the chairside must be overcome. Endodontists may soon be able to use chairside genetic tests to make more informed treatment decisions for their patients.
