The role of bacteria in the etiology of endodontic lesions has been intensively studied. Recent work has elucidated specific mechanisms by which bacterial components such as endotoxin and other cell wall components can contribute to the inflammatory processes. In addition, developments in anaerobic microbiology have facilitated accurate and reproducible identification of endodontic pathogens. This article reviews and correlates clinical and laboratory research bearing on this important topic.
