Summary. An implant simulating the dental root canal was tested for its suitability to accommodate experimental inocula of bacteria. The inflammatory response provoked by some of the inocula in the subcutaneous tissues of rabbits after 90 days, indicated that the model may be of value for studying the virulence of pathogenic endodontic bacterial mixtures.
