Resumo (PT): A importância crescente do papel das bactérias na etiopatogenia das lesões periapicais motivou uma revisão da literatura respeitante a estas lesões. É hoje aceite que, na maior parte dos casos, existem bactérias nos canais radiculares dos dentes implicados e por vezes até no próprio tecido periapical. É também de considerar a resposta imunológica na patogénese destas lesões.

Abstract (EN): Im recent years, considerable interest has been generated in the role of bacteria in causing periapical pathogenesis. This article reviews and correlates clinical and laboratory research bearing on this important topic. bacteria in dental root canals play a decisive role in the development of periapical lesions and some of them have the ability to establish themselves in periapical tissue. Multiple mechanisms are involved: they include also immunological responses.
