Abstract:

Current concepts suggest that endodontic infections are caused by microbial bio-films that are formed on the dentinal surfaces of root canal system. Co-aggregation and co-adhesion reactions of microorganisms are significant factors in development, stabilization and maintenance of complex communities. A good understanding of the co-aggregation of bacteria in root canal infection is important to enable development of techniques to eliminate microbial bio-film. Interactions between Enterococcus faecalis and Fusobacterium nucleatum found in root canal infections might be important for the development and persistence of endodontic disease. Various co-aggregation mechanisms are the cause for these bacterial interactions. Co-aggregation inhibition of bacteria will simplify the eradication of bacteria from the root canal. This presentation will revisit the co-aggregation and its inhibition of bacteria in the endodontic bio-film.
