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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Introduction Most studies of the microbiota in root canal–treated teeth focused only on the
main canal, not distinguishing regions nor incorporating the intricate anatomy in the …

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 …

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 …

OBJECTIVE: Bacteria settled in the apical root canal are in a privileged position to inflict
damage to the periradicular tissues. Therefore, the species identified in this region can be of …

Introduction Bacteria present in the apical root canal system are directly involved with the
pathogenesis of post-treatment apical periodontitis. This study used a next-generation …

Samples from infected root canals of 43 teeth with chronic apical periodontitis were
analyzed for the presence and relative levels of 83 oral bacterial species and/or phylotypes …
