Samples from coronal pulp, outer radicular dentin, and negative controls were included. Each sample was spiked with a known bacterial standard. Sequencing of the 16S rRNA V3–V4 region revealed similarity in bacterial taxonomic profiles. The bacterial DNA was detected in all pulp samples, primarily originating from reagent contaminants. Although some oral taxa appeared more abundant in pulp than in dentin or controls, contaminant species overwhelmingly dominated. Most of the extracted DNA was of human origin, rather than bacterial. Our findings question the concept of a core microbiome in healthy pulp and highlight the critical need for rigorous controls in pulpal microbiome studies.
