Spatial Transcriptomics Analysis of inflamed versus healthy Dental Pulps
Listed in NCBI GEO
Diagnostic protocols in endodontics rely heavily on subjective pain assessments and sensibility testing, which often fail to reflect the true histopathological and molecular state of the pulp.
Description
This limitation can result in misdiagnosis of reversible pulpitis as irreversible, leading to unnecessary devitalization of teeth that might otherwise respond to vital pulp therapy (VPT). Improved understanding of pulp biology is essential to refine case selection and enhance VPT outcomes.
We aim to investigate the transcriptomic profiles of pulpitis, identify inflammation subtypes, and improve classification beyond the traditional reversible/irreversible framework.

Methods
Spatial transcriptomics (Visium-CytAssist-V2) was used to analyze four dental pulp tissues. Cell deconvolution and differential gene expression analyses were performed to characterize transcriptomic signatures of healthy pulp (HL), reversible pulpitis (RP), and irreversible pulpitis (IP), with specific attention to coronal regions adjacent to carious lesions.
