Biofilms in endodontic infections

Abstract: Biofilm biology has become an expanding field of research in human, industrial and environmental ecosystems. The knowledge accumulated suggests that organisms growing in biofilms develop properties different to those dwelling in the planktonic state. On surveying the endodontic literature it is obvious that this realization and the fact that biofilms afford the resident microorganisms protection/resistance against harmful exogeneous influences including anti‐microbial agents, is rather new to endodontology.

“…Its efficiency in eliminating E. faecalis biofilm is relatively low (100, 111, 112). E. faecalis biofilm is more difficult to remove and is more resistant to the effects of antimicrobials than planktonic bacteria (113). MTAD removes the smear layer more efficiently than EDTA, particularly in the apical third of the canal (114), where it causes less pronounced erosive changes to the dentin (104).…”

“…To this end, chemo-mechanical debridement of dentin walls must be performed with sealing to prevent re-contamination. Nevertheless, sometimes a correctly performed endodontic treatment can fail due to apical radicular dentinal tubule microorganism invasion capable of adhering and surviving in the root canal by biofilm formation [1,3,[6][7][8].…”

“…25 Fortes evidências indicam que as lesões perirradiculares são doenças induzidas por biofilme. 2,26,27 Os biofilmes parecem estar mais presentes em associação com processos patológicos de longa duração, incluindo grandes lesões e cistos. 28 Os biofilmes são o método preferido de crescimento para a maioria das espécies bacterianas.…”

“…Dessa forma, a comunicação célula-célula e a transferência de informações genéticas dentro do biofilme, permitem à bactéria mudar em resposta ao seu meio ambiente, e a estrutura do biofilme proporciona uma defesa eficiente contra os mecanismos protetores do hospedeiro e a agentes antimicrobianos. 8,27,29 Comunidades bacterianas organizadas em biofilmes, geralmente, possuem uma agressividade pequena na geração de dano tecidual imediato, mas são altamente perigosas porque podem estimular uma inflamação persistente gerando um dano tecidual colateral. 2 Além disso, os biofilmes servem como um foco em potencial para as manifestações agudas por liberação de células planctônicas suficientes para iniciar uma infecção aguda.…”
