Microbiological Analysis of Primary Infected Root Canals with Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Apical Periodontitis of Young Permanent Teeth

Abstract

Background/Aim: Understanding the composition of bacteria in infected root canals is important for ameliorating the treatment strategies that lead to the elimination of pathogens and infection control, but also prevent reinfection. Aim of this study was to investigate microbial composition of primary infected root canals with apical periodontitis of young permanent teeth, originating form school children in Serbia, and its association with clinical symptoms.
