Microorganisms infecting the dental root canal system play an unequivocal role as causative
agents of apical periodontitis. Although fungi, archaea, and viruses have been found in …

Apical periodontitis has a microbial aetiology and is one of the most common inflammatory
diseases that affect humans. Fungi, archaea and viruses have been found in association …

The literature indicates that microorganisms have a critical role in the aetiology and
pathogenesis of apical periodontitis. The advancement in microbiological study methods …

Apical periodontitis and its different manifestations are caused primarily by bacterial
infection of the root canal system. Bacteria are usually organized in biofilm communities and …

Introduction Apical periodontitis (AP) represents an inflammatory condition of peri-radicular
tissues due to invasion and colonization of bacteria in the root canals. Primary apical …

Introduction Chronic apical periodontitis (CAP) is a frequent condition that has a
considerable effect on a patient's quality of life. We aimed to reveal root canal microbial …

A current trend in the understanding of the pathogenesis of several human endogenous
infections is to shift away from a reductionist paradigm to a holistic view of the microbial …

Background Apical periodontitis (AP) is essentially an inflammatory disease of microbial
etiology primarily caused by infection of the pulp and root canal system. Variation of the …

Apical periodontitis is an inflammatory disease of the dental periradicular tissues triggered
by bacteria colonizing necrotic root canals. Primary apical periodontitis results from the …

Next‐generation sequencing (NGS) has now been applied for a decade to characterize the
microbiota composition of infected dental root canals associated with apical periodontitis …
