Biological markers and pulp pH values for the clinical prediction of suppurative pulpitis

Key Points

• Suppurative pulpitis can be predicted by specific biological markers and pulp pH values.
• Key predictors include the VAS pain score, IL-1β, and TNF-α—highlighting their clinical relevance.
• The assessment involves analyzing biological markers in conjunction with pulp pH measurements.
• These findings may improve diagnosis protocols but need further validation in larger cohorts.
