根管先端部に存在する細菌は、根管周囲組織への損傷とその結果として生じる炎症性疾患を誘発する戦略的な位置にあると考えられる。本研究では、歯根周囲病変を伴う感染根管の根尖部3分の1における、11種の推定歯内療法病原体の有病率を調査した。う蝕性歯髄露出および付着性歯根周囲病変を有する抜去歯23本の根尖部を切開し,微生物学的調査のために根管を採取した.サンプルからDNAを抽出し,ネステッドポリメラーゼ連鎖反応法を用いて11菌種の存在を分析した.その結果,Pseuramibacter alactolyticusが10例(44%),Treponema denticolaが6例(26%),Fusobacterium nucleatumが6例(26%),Porphyromonas endodontalisが4例(17%),Filifactor alocisが2例(9%),Dialister pneumosintesが1例(4%),Porphyromonas gingivalisが1例(4%),Tannerella forsythensisが1例(4%)であった.Prevotella intermedia、Prevotella nigrescens、Campylobacter rectusは検出されなかった。検査した検体のうち、17検体で少なくとも1つの対象菌種が陽性であった。感染根管の先端3分の1にこれらの細菌種が存在することから、これらの細菌種が根尖周囲病変の原因に関与している可能性が示唆された。
Bacteria located at the apical portion of the root canals are conceivably in a strategic position to induce damage to the periradicular tissues and resulting inflammatory diseases. This study sought to investigate the prevalence of 11 selected putative endodontic pathogens in the apical third of infected root canals associated with periradicular lesions. The apical root portion of 23 extracted teeth with carious pulpal exposures and attached periradicular lesions was sectioned, and the root canals were sampled for microbiological investigation. DNA was extracted from the samples and analyzed for the presence of 11 bacterial species using a nested polymerase chain reaction assay. The results showed that Pseuramibacter alactolyticus occurred in 10 cases (44%), Treponema denticola in 6 (26%), Fusobacterium nucleatum in 6 (26%), Porphyromonas endodontalis in 4 (17%), Filifactor alocis in 2 (9%), Dialister pneumosintes in 1 (4%), Porphyromonas gingivalis in 1 (4%), and Tannerella forsythensis in 1 (4%). No sample yielded Prevotella intermedia, Prevotella nigrescens, or Campylobacter rectus. Of the samples examined, 17 were positive for at least 1 of the target species. Occurrence of these bacterial species in the apical third of infected root canals suggests that they can be involved in causation of periradicular lesions.
