چکیده

The objective of this study was to evaluate bacterial prevalence in 31 root canals of human deciduous teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical lesions using bacterial culture. After crown access, the material was collected using absorbent paper points for microbiological evaluation and determination of colony forming units (CFU). Anaerobic microorganisms were found in 96.7% of the samples, black-pigmented bacilli in 35.5%, aerobic microorganisms in 93.5%, streptococci in 96.7%, and S. mutans in 48.4%. We concluded that in human deciduous teeth root canals with necrotic pulp and periapical lesions the infection is polymicrobial, with a large number of microorganisms and a predominance of streptococci and anaerobic microorganisms. DESCRIPTORS: Tooth, deciduous; Bacteriological techniques; Periapical abscess. RESUMO: O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar, por meio de cultura bacteriológica, a prevalência de microorganismos em 31 canais radiculares de dentes decíduos humanos com necrose pulpar e lesão periapical. O material, colhido dos canais radiculares após a realização da cirurgia de acesso, foi submetido ao processamento microbiológico para a determinação das unidades formadoras de colônia de microorganismos. Os resultados mostram que os microorganismos anaeróbios foram quantificados em 96,7% dos casos, os bacilos pigmentados de negro (BPB) em 35,5%, os aeróbios em 93,5%, os estreptococos em 96,7% e os S. mutans em 48,4%. Assim, pôde-se concluir que a infecção em canais radiculares de dentes decíduos humanos portadores de necrose pulpar e lesão periapical é polimicrobiana, com grande quantidade de microorganismos e maior prevalência de estreptococos e microorganismos anaeróbios. DESCRITORES: Dente decíduo; Técnicas bacteriológicas; Abscesso periapical.

Bacterial profile in primary teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical lesions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the bacterial profile in root canals of human primary teeth with necrotic pulp and periapical lesions using bacterial culture. A total of 20 primary teeth with necrotic pulp and radiographically visible radiolucent areas in the region of the bone furcation and/or the periapical region were selected. After crown access, 4 sterile absorbent paper points...

The objective of this research was to evaluate, in vitro, the importance of the correct manipulation of endodontic sealers, correlating it with flow rate and with the consequent obturation of root canals. Twenty-four human canines were prepared, 1 mm from the apex, with K-files up to size 50, by means of the step-back technique. Six lateral canals were then drilled in each tooth, with size 10 f...

Role of endotoxin in the etiology of periapical lesions: molecular mechanisms involved in endotoxin’s recognition and cell activation

Periapical lesions are diseases resulting from contamination and necrosis of dental pulp and the progression of this infection toward the periapical tissues. Technological advances in microbiological culture and identification have shown that anaerobic microorganisms, especially Gram-negative, are predominate in root canals of teeth with pulp necrosis and chronic periapical lesions. Gram-negati...
