Next-Generation Sequencing Analysis of Root Canal Microbiota Associated with a Severe Endodontic-Periodontal Lesion

A patient with an unusual endo-periodontal lesion, without coronal decay or read more damage, likely caused by a deep periodontal lesion with subsequent endodontic bacterial migration, required medical care.Next-generation sequencing (NGS) was used to assess the endodontic microbiota in vestibular and palatal canals after tooth extraction, evidenci
