Official Title: Cytokine Regulation of Periradicular Pain in Humans

Brief Summary: This clinical trial evaluates the role of cytokines in patients needing root canal treatment with diagnosis of necrotic pulp and chronic apical periodontitis

Detailed Summary: This study evaluates whether periradicular exudate concentrations of cytokines differ in patients experiencing pain and mechanical allodynia due to pulpal necrosis with an acute exacerbation of a chronic apical periodontitis, as compared to patients with pulpal necrosis with chronic apical periodontitis, but no pain or mechanical allodynia
