ENDODONTIC BIOFILM

Root canal biofilm is a very complex ,organised entity. Within root canal systems, the complexity is not only related to nature of the biofilm , but also to the complex anatomy, which houses tissue along with the biofilms and removal of such biomasses is as relevant as being able to kill bacteria in biofilm.Information on the genetic regulation of oral biofilm is still lacking. So here we deal with fabricating artificial biofilm models for dental awareness and recent approaches to eradicate endodontic biofilm for better prognosis of root canal treatment. This book gives better understanding of these processes necessary to the development of novel strategies for oral disease prevention and control. The most common endodontic infection is caused by surface associated growth of micro-organism. It is important to apply the biofilm concept to endodontic microbiology to undrstand pathosis potential of endodontic microbiota. So, this book will form the new basis for new approaches of disinfection.With its contemporary approach and comprehensive coverage, this classic is indeed an indispensible text for both students and practitioners.
