Introduction: One of the main advantages of the molecular diagnostic methods is detecting microorganisms using the bacterial DNA, leading to a more accurate microbial characterization. Objective: This paper aims to study ...

Objective: Identification of specific bacteria in root canals (RCs) in distinct clinical conditions can support the comprehension of pathological processes. Thus, the objective of this clinical study was to investigate the ...

This clinical study investigated and quantified cultivable bacteria and their levels of endotoxins in persistent endodontic infection, determining their antigenicity against macrophages and fibroblast cells by IL-1β and ...

Introduction: This clinical study aimed to determine the microbiological profile resistant to different intracanal medications in primary endodontic infections by using both microbiological culture and the checkerboard ...

This clinical study was conducted to correlate the levels of endotoxins and culturable bacteria found in primary endodontic infection (PEI) with the volume of root canal determined by using Cone Beam Computed Tomography ...

Introduction: Porphyromonas gingivalis and Tannerella forsythia are anaerobic bacteria commonly involved in root canal infections. Although previous investigations have assessed these species by strictly qualitative ...
