Teeth with pulp necrosis, painful symptomatology and periapical bone destruction tend to be colonized by anaerobic and predominantly Gram-negative microbiota. The main virulence factor of Gram-negative bacteria is represented by the release of endotoxins (LPS) present in the outer membrane of the bacterial cell wall. With the indiscriminate use of antimicrobial agents, these bacteria have…
Teeth with pulp necrosis presenting symptomatology and periapical bone destruction tend to be colonized by a more complex anaerobic microbiota compared to asymptomatic cases. Black pigment bacteria (BPB) including Prevotella and Porphyromonas species; Parvimonas and Fusobacterium spp. have been frequently isolated/ detected in symptomatic cases. However, due Thus, the aims of this study a…
Halitosis is the emanation of malodours from the oral cavity and can have major detrimental social implications for the sufferer and significant impact on normal social interactions. In most cases, their origin is related to the action of Gram-negative anaerobic bacteria in the oral cavity, which degrade sulfur-containing amino acids, producing volatile sulfur compounds (VSC). However, ma…
The knowledge of the microbiota involved in symptomatic and asymptomatic infections may clarify reasons leading to the exacerbation or chronification of an endodontic infection. Moreover, the microbial community of endodontic diseases can also be associated with systemic infections. Recently, a study found that the cariogenic Streptococcus mutans was frequently found in pulpitis. In addit…
Acute endodontic infections are one of the most frequently treated conditions in endodontic emergency procedures. Microorganisms might reach the connective apical tissues, leading to an intense inflammatory response. If untreated, these infections might progress resulting in life-threatening conditions and systemic complication. Knowing that Streptococcus mutans have been associated with …
