Introduction: This study evaluated the bacterial levels after regenerative endodontic procedures and their correlation with the treatment outcome using molecular microbiology methods. Methods: Root canal samples of 15 necrotic immature teeth were analyzed by quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Bacteria were counted before treatment (S1), after irrigation with 6% sodium hypochlorite (S2), and after intracanal dressing (S3) using either triple antibiotic paste (n = 7) or calcium hydroxide with chlorhexidine (n = 8). The Wilcoxon test for related samples and the Mann-Whitney test were used for statistical analysis (P < .05). After a follow-up period of 12-48 months, clinical and radiographic findings were correlated with microbiological data using a linear regression model (P < .05). Results: All S1 and S2 samples were positive for bacteria, but the number of positive S3 samples decreased to 53.3% (P = .001). Overall, there was a significant reduction of bacterial levels after each treatment step (S1-S2, P = .001; S2-S3, P = .02). In the triple antibiotic paste and chlorhexidine groups, 57.1% and 50% of S3 samples were positive with median numbers of 6.97 x 10(3) and 3.59 x 10(4) bacterial cells, respectively. No significant differences were found between the groups. Periapical healing occurred in all cases despite the presence of low levels of residual bacteria. However, the latter had a negative impact on the thickness of dentinal walls (R-2 = 0.0043). Conclusions: Although the bacterial levels were drastically reduced after the regenerative endodontic procedures, the residual bacteria influenced the thickness of the dentinal walls.
