Biofilms play a critical role in the pathogenesis and persistence of endodontic infections. These structured microbial communities, encased in a protective matrix, exhibit increased resistance to host defenses and conventional treatments. This review explores the formation, composition, and clinical significance of biofilms in endodontics, highlighting recent advances in detection methods and innovative therapeutic strategies. By understanding biofilm dynamics, clinicians can
adopt more effective approaches to manage and prevent persistent root canal infections.
