Cultivation and molecular characterization of viable Helicobacter pylori from the root canal of 170 deciduous teeth of children
Thus, the microaerobic environment in the root canals of endodontically infected teeth may represent a protected and transient reservoir for live H. pylori, especially in individuals with poor dental hygiene, which could serve as a potential source for re-infection of the stomach after antibiotic therapy or for transmission to other individuals.
