Primary endodontic
infection
Primary infection is caused by microorganisms that
initially invade and colonize the necrotic tissue.
Primary infections are characterized by a mixed
clostridium composed of 10-30species per canal.
The number of bacterial cells in an infected canals
varies from 103-108 cells.

Most common in symptomatic infection and

5 subspecies of F.nucleatum have been found

that which subspecies have more virulence

Different type of subspecies are found

Spirochete bacteria
Although spirochetes have been frequently observed
in samples by microscopy, they had never been
identified to the species level.
The application of molecular diagnosis to
identification of spiral bacteria has been overlooked
the culture techniques.
All oral spirochetes are genus Treponema .
They can be classified in 2 group; saccharolytic and
saccharolytic.
T.denticola, T.sokranskii have been detected in both
symptomatic and asymptomatic lesion.

E.feacalis in secondary
infection
E.feacalis has been found in root filled teeth
evincing persistent apical periodontitis in
prevalence values ranging from 30-90% of
the cases.
This species can be inhibited by other
members of mixed bacterial consortium
commonly present in primary infection.

Studies have revealed that E.feacalis has
ability to penetrate far into dentinal tubules
that can escape from intracanal

E.feacalis in secondary
infection
E.feacalis has been shown to be able to form
biofilms in root canals and this ability can be
important for bacterial resistance and
persistence in the instrumented canals.
