Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the bacterial contamination of endodontic materials before and after clinical storage. The paper focusses on (MALDI-TOF MS) matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry, in addition to Culture techniques that have been used for the isolation and identification of bacteria for many years

Keywords: Bacteria, contamination, MALDI-TOF MS, UV
