A

Primary infection

126
Q

Intraradicular infection caused by bugs not present in the primary infection but introduced into the RCS sometime following professional intervention (secondary to professional intervention; iatrogenic by definition)

Q

Secondary intraradicular infections are secondary to professional intervention meaning they are:

A

Iatrogenic by definition

128
Q

Example of a secondary infection is when symptoms arise in a previously ________ infected tooth if operation allowed R. Dam leakage or placed leaky temporary.

A

asymptomatic

129
Q

Intraradicular infection caused by bugs that were embers of a primary or secondary infection and in some way, resisted intracanal antimicrobial procedures and were able to endure periods of nutrient deprivatino within the RCS. (i.e.) FAILURE TO HEAL

A

Persistant infection

130
Q

How can we describe a persistant intraradicular infection?

A

FAILURE of RCT TO HEAL

131
Q

The ability to form _____ has been regarded as a virulence factor

A

BIO

132
Q

The ability to form BIO has been regarded as a virulence factor. Neighboring cells of difference species can produce enzymes such as ____, ____ and ____ that are retained in the biofilm matrix and can protect other bacteria against antibiotics and host defenses.

A

B-lactamase, Catalase, proteinases

133
Q

In an endodontic infection, bacterial products contribute to:

A

Virulence

134
Q

135
Q

Gram negative anaerobes can cause ___ & ___ by releasing enzymes, endotoxins,/exotoxins LPS & peptides/amino acids

A
