Prevalence of Enterococcus faecalis in refractory endodontic infections: A microbiological study
<i>E. faecalis</i> is highly prevalent in refractory endodontic infections, underscoring its role in treatment failure. The use of sterile paper points and gutta-percha samples effectively detects intracanal microbes. Advanced molecular techniques may further improve the understanding of endodontic microbiota and help reduce failure rates.
