Abstract :
Background: Dental caries with necrotic pulp is an infectious multifactorial disease that attacks enamel until pulp chamber of the tooth. The anaerobic bacteria infection in the pulp chamber could induce the formation of periapical granuloma. However, the presence of the most frequently anaerobic bacteria identified in apical periodontitis, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia, in Indonesian periapical granuloma have not been confirmed. Purpose: To confirm the presence of the black pigmented anaerobic bacteria, Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia, in Indonesian dental caries with necrotic pulp and evaluate its relation with periapical granuloma. Methods: Thirty-six patients of dental caries with necrotic pulp in General Hospital Dr. Moewardi in Surakarta, Indonesia were involved and classified into two groups, with and without periapical granuloma. The tooth caries was extracted, and the chronic periapical tissue was then swabbed and cultured on blood agar medium in anaerobic condition. The bacterial DNA was extracted from the positive cultures and subjected for molecular assays. Results: Periapical granuloma was more likely found in women (OR 5.5, 95% CI=1.277-23.693; RR 2.5, 95% CI= 1.025-6.100). Black colonies bacteria were associated with periapical granuloma (OR 2.2, 95% CI=0.517-9.594; RR 1.5, 95% CI=0.655-3.623). Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia were detected in dental caries tissues, with or without periapical granuloma, however, only Prevotella intermedia was associated with periapical granuloma (OR 1.6, 95% CI=0.418-5.903; RR 1.3, 95% CI=0.653-2.393). Conclusion: The presence of Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia in Indonesian periapical granuloma were confirmed, however, only Prevotella intermedia were associated with periapical granuloma.
