The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence of Prevotella intermedia and Prevotella nigrescens in symptomatic and asymptomatic endodontic infections from a Brazilian population. DNA extracted from samples obtained from 28 cases of endodontic infection were examined by the 16S rDNA-directed Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) method. PCR detected P. intermedia in 7.1% of the cases (2 out of 28 teeth) and P. nigrescens in only one sample (3.6%). The low prevalence of P. intermedia and P. nigrescens as reported in the present study is probably justified for geographical reasons. |
