Abstract
AbstractMicrobial biofilms are surface-adherent consortia formed by microbes and regulated by environmental changes. Currently, there are several reports on the existence of bacterial biofilms in infected root canal systems. Thus it is mandatory to simulate such biofilm modes in laboratory models for applied microbiological experiments in endodontics. This chapter covers different considerations for developing biofilm models in endodontics. In addition, different types of in vitro root canal biofilm models and the methods of assessment are described.KeywordsConfocal Laser Scanning MicroscopyRoot CanalBacterial AdherenceRoot Canal SystemConventional Scan Electron MicroscopyThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
