Microbial community in persistent apical periodontitis: a 16S r<scp>RNA</scp> gene clone library analysis
2 Aug 2014
Abstract excerpt
AIM: To characterize the microbial composition of persistent periapical lesions of root filled teeth using a molecular genetics approach. METHODOLOGY: Apical lesion samples were collected from 12 patients (23-80 years old) who visited the Kyushu University Hospital for apicectomy with persistent periapical lesions associated with root filled teeth. DNA was directly extracted from each sample and the microbial...
