An in vivo evaluation of microbial diversity before and after the photo-activated disinfection in primary endodontic infections: Traditional phenotypic and molecular approaches

Primary endodontic infection is characterized by presence of wide range of microbial diversity dominated by anaerobes that initially invade the dental pulp [1]; this includes the large microbial diversity and count, which is constantly updated, and the microbial resistance to antimicrobial agents, used as intracanal medication in root canal treatment [2,3].
