Influence of Enterococcus faecalis proteases and the collagen-binding protein, Ace, on adhesion to dentin

Enterococcus faecalis is a pathogen that persists in medicated root canals. Here, we tested the hypothesis that the E. faecalis proteases, serine protease and gelatinase, and the collagen‐binding protein (Ace) contribute to adhesion to the root canal. Scanning electron microscopy was used to examine...
