Apical periodontitis: preliminary assessment of microbiota by 16S rRNA high throughput amplicon target sequencing

Abstract Background Apical periodontitis includes periapical granulomas and radicular cysts, which are histologically distinguished by the absence and the presence of an epithelial lining, respectively. The main cause of apical periodontitis is the bacterial colonization of the root canal space. Thi...
