Abstract:

Objective

To investigate the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus(EBV)and retrograde pulpitis.

Methods

Pulp tissue samples were collected from 30 patients of retrograde pulpitis and 30 healthy subjects.The nested polymerase chain reaction (nPCR) was used to examine EBV in pulp tissue.

Results

The positive rate of EBV detected in samples which were collected from the patients with retrograde pulpitis was significantly higher percentages(36.67%) compared with that from healthy pulp controls (0%, P <0.01).

Conclusions

EBV may be related to retrograde pulpitis.

Key words: Epstein-Barr virus, Retrograde pulpitis, Nested polymerase chain reaction
