Abstract
The results of an investigation of the microbiologic flora of gangrenous teeth are presented. The rationale of the concept of the microbiologic approach is discussed. A possible explanation for the small differences in the success of endodontically treated teeth obturated after positive and negative bacteriologic cultures is suggested.
