Endodontic Microbiology: Concepts, Pathogenesis and Clinical Perspectives

This book provides a comprehensive overview of the microbiological aspects of endodontics, highlighting the role of microorganisms in pulpal and periapical diseases. It covers the historical evolution of endodontic microbiology, important terminology, and the pathways through which bacteria invade the dental pulp. The book discusses the theory of focal infection, the nature of endodontic infections, and the microbiological basis of apical periodontitis. It also emphasizes modern microbiological diagnostic techniques, compares microbial considerations in single-visit and multiple-visit endodontics, and explains the microbial causes of endodontic flare-ups. In addition, the book explores recent advances and future perspectives in endodontic microbiology, supported by a detailed review of literature and references for academic and clinical understanding.
