A Comparison of Endodontic Microbiomes Associated With Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Apical Periodontitis by Next‐Generation Sequencing

Key Points

• This research aims to compare the microbiomes associated with symptomatic and asymptomatic apical periodontitis.
• Utilized next-generation sequencing to analyze microbial communities
• Compared microbiomes from symptomatic and asymptomatic cases
• Assessed relative abundance of various microorganisms
• No specific microorganisms were linked to symptomatic expression
• Identified shifts in microbial community abundance as a key factor
