Abstract
AIM: employing polymerase chain reaction (PCR). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Microbial samples were obtained from 60 cases with necrotic pulp with primary teeth infections. DNA extracted from samples were analyzed for endodontic pathogens by using species-specific primers. RESULTS: < 0.05). Red complex bacteria showed no statistical significant association with the presence of signs and symptoms. CONCLUSION: suggested association of these bacteria with symptomatic infected pulp and periradicular diseases.
