Siqueira JF et al. - Based on the community-as-pathogen concept, it is possible to infer that, despite the high interindividual variability in endodontic microbial community composition, there are apparently some disease-related patterns. This article focuses on diverse ecological and pathogenic aspects of microbial communities, especially in relation to the pathogenesis of apical periodontitis. Therapeutic strategies based on ecological interference and other factors are also discussed.
