What is Short-chain Fatty Acids in Infected Root Canals of Teeth with Apical Periodontitis before and after Treatment about?
## Introduction: Short-chain fatty acids (scfas) are bacterial metabolic end products that may function as virulence factors. this study evaluated the occurrence of scfas in infected root canals before and after treatment. ## Methods: Samples were taken from root canals of teeth with apical periodontitis before (s1) and after (s2) chemomechanical preparation with either naocl or chlorhexidine as the irrigant and then after interappointment medication with calcium hydroxide (s3). high-performance liquid chromatography was used for detection of scfas. selected bacterial taxa that are recognized producers of the target scfas were identified by real-time polymerase chain reaction. ## Results: Butyric acid was the most common fatty acid in s1, followed by propionic acid. both molecules were also found in s2 and s3 from both naocl and chlorhexidine groups. lactic acid was not present in detectable levels in s1, but it occurred in 1 postinstrumentation sample and in 9 samples taken after calcium hydroxide medication. of the target taxa, fusobacterium nucleatum was the most prevalent in s1 (76%), followed by members of the actinobacteria phylum (71%), streptococcus species (59%), and parvi
