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