The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bond strength (BS) of root canal fillings to root dentin using the reciprocating file-matched single-cone or lateral compaction techniques with resin-based and calcium-silicate-based sealers. Maxillary canine roots were prepared and filled using one of the following approaches: Reciproc R40 file and R40 single cone, WaveOne Large file and Large s...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the torsion and bending properties of OneShape (OS; Micro Mega, Besançon, France) and WaveOne (WO; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) single-file systems. METHODS The torsional strength of OS size #25, 0.06 taper and WO primary size #25, 0.08 taper was measured by using a torsiometer after fixing the apical 5 mm of the instrument...

objectives: during root canal preparation, apical extrusion of debris can cause inflammation, flare-ups, and delayed healing. therefore, instrumentation techniques that cause the least extrusion of debris are desirable. this study aimed to compare apical extrusion of debris by five single-file, full-sequence rotary and reciprocating systems. materials and methods: one hundred twenty human mandi...

gold preparations are one of the oldest disease modifying drugs in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. this are different reports about the effects and complications of these compoumis. these opposite reports may he due to the difference in genetic ami ethnic background of patients. this study was designed to evaluate our results in gold therapy ami compare them with those of western countri...

Background: Surface roughness is one of the most important characteristics endodontic instruments, correlating to instrument fracture. The purpose this study was measure surface values these instruments before and after resin root canal preparation without previous glide path preparation, with new method. Data obtained from field emission scanning electron microscope...

canals prepared with different enlargements using single-file reciprocating systems (Reciproc and WaveOne) and a conventional multi-file rotary (BioRaCe) system by microcomputed tomographic analysis. Thirty mesial roots of mandibular molars with moderate curvature (10° to 20°) presenting a type II Vertucci canal configuration and similar internal volume were chosen and scanned at an isotropic r...

introduction application of near-infrared absorbing nanostructures can induce hyperthermia, in addition to providing more efficient  photothermal effects. gold-gold sulfide (ggs) is considered as one of these nanostructures. this study was performed on a tissue-equivalent optical-thermal phantom to determine the temperature profile in the presence and absence of ggs and millisecond pulses of a ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the influence of clinical use, in vivo, on the torsional behavior of Reciproc and WaveOne instruments considering the possibility that they degraded with use. MATERIAL AND METHODS Diameter at each millimeter, pitch length, and area at 3 mm from the tip were determined for both types of instruments. Twenty-four instruments, size 25, 0.08 taper, of ...
