Article Synopsis
- A study investigates the link between apical periodontitis (AP) and elevated serum inflammatory factors that might trigger insulin resistance (IR), aiming to understand the potential impact of root canal treatment (RCT) on inflammation and insulin response.
- Results showed untreated AP patients had significantly higher levels of proinflammatory cytokines (IL-1, IL-6, IL-8) compared to healthy controls, suggesting a connection between AP and systemic inflammation.
- Post-treatment, patients with AP displayed reduced cytokine levels and an improved insulin response, indicating that RCT may alleviate inflammation and its effects on insulin sensitivity.
