To evaluate the effectiveness of the ProTaper and Mtwo retreatment systems for removal of resin-based obturation techniques during retreatment. A total of 160 maxillary anterior teeth were enlarged to size 30 using ProTaper and Mtwo rotary instruments. Teeth were randomly divided into eight groups. Resilon + Epiphany, gutta-percha + Epiphany, gutta-percha + AH Plus and gutta-percha + Kerr Pulp Canal Sealer (PCS) combinations were used for obturation. ProTaper and Mtwo retreatment files were used for removal of root canal treatments. After clearing the roots, the teeth were split vertically into halves, and the cleanliness of the canal walls was determined by scanning electron microscopy. Specimens obturated with gutta-percha and Kerr PCS displayed significantly more remnant obturation material than did specimens filled with resin-based obturation materials. Teeth prepared with Mtwo instruments contained significantly more remnant filling material than did teeth prepared with ProTaper. ProTaper files were significantly faster than Mtwo instruments in terms of the mean time of retreatment and time required to reach working length. The Resilon + Epiphany and AH Plus + gutta-percha obturation materials were removed more easily than were the Epiphany + gutta-percha and Kerr PCS + gutta-percha obturation materials. Although ProTaper retreatment files worked faster than did Mtwo retreatment files in terms of removing root canal obturation materials, both retreatment systems are effective, reliable and fast.

The aim of this study was to evaluate observer variations and observer reproducibility in the interpretation of periapical health using the Strindberg system, the periapical index (PAI), and the probability index for radiologic assessment of periapical health.

The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the effectiveness of the XP-Endo Finisher (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) with passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) and needle irrigation in the removal of triple antibiotic paste (TAP) from the straight immature root canals of extracted teeth.

This in vitro study examined the effect of the inflammatory cytokines (tumour necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6) on osteogenic, chondrogenic, and adipogenic differentiation of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) which have significant relevance in future regenerative therapies.

TNF-α, IL-1B and IL-6 affect the differentiation ability of dental pulp stem cells.

This study aimed to compare the temperature changes occurring on the root surfaces after the removal of root canal filling with two different root canal sealers by two different reciprocating files. Sixty extracted teeth with a single root and canal were used in this study. After chemomechanical preparation, the root canals in the experimental groups were filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus or CeraSeal, while those of the control groups were filled with gutta-percha only. Resiproc or WaveOne Gold were used for the removal of the root canal filling. Temperature changes in the middle and apical third of the root surface were recorded by a thermal camera at different time intervals. Among the groups using the same sealer, the temperature rise observed on the root surface at the end of 90 s in the Resiproc groups was found to be significantly higher than that of the WaveOne Gold groups.

Root canal retreatment often employs organic solvents like chloroform, eucalyptol, and orange oil. However, studies comparing their effectiveness yield inconsistent results. The quantity of d-limonene, a crucial component in orange oil, varies depending on the oil production method. Cold-pressed orange oil has been observed to contain the highest d-limonene levels. This study investigates the comparative solvent effects of cold-pressed and steam-hydrodistilled orange oils on gutta-percha and GuttaFlow2, typically used components in root canal fillings.

Root resorption is a complex problem in endodontic treatment that considerably affects the structural integrity of teeth. This study aims to assess the biomechanical efficacy of various restorative materials and approaches in treating external root resorption, emphasizing their capacity to improve stress resistance and guarantee long-term success.

This study focused on the risk posed by pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic carriers in dental clinics during the period (February-June 2022) when Covid-19 transmission was highest and aimed to investigate the effectiveness of infection control protocols in the prevention of SARS-CoV-2 transmission. It also evaluated the potential of wearable sensors as part of the Internet of Things (IoT) to prevent cross-infection.
