The infectious content of root canals, including bacteria and lipoteichoic acid (LTA), cause injuries to the periapical tissues. The purpose of this clinical study was to quantify the levels of both LTA and cultivable bacteria at the different phases of endodontic retreatment (ER) of teeth with post-treatment apical periodontitis. It also aimed to investigate the presence of gram-positive microorganisms before and after chemomechanical preparation (CMP) and intracanal medication (ICM). (Source: Journal of Endodontics)
