Preoperative and Intraoperative Molecular Pulpal Diagnostics: Practical and Biological Considerations.

International endodontic journal · Narkedamalli RK, Duncan HF, Varghese J, Ballal NV · 2026-08-13

This narrative review examined how molecular biomarkers from biological fluids—particularly gingival crevicular fluid—could objectively assess pulpal inflammation compared with conventional diagnostic methods. The authors concluded that while biomarker-based diagnostics show promise, they require further validation and standardisation before clinical implementation in endodontics.
