We conducted a systematic review and meta\u2010analysis of English\u2010language analytical cross\u2010sectional studies (2012\u20132024) assessing pulp oxygen saturation (%SpO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    ) via pulse oximetry in mature permanent teeth with symptomatic pulpitis. Three reviewers independently screened and extracted data, and study quality was appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist. Meta\u2010analysis compared %SpO\n                    <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                    levels between healthy pulp, reversible pulpitis (RP) and irreversible pulpitis (IP).
