OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to introduce modified continuous wave compaction (MCWC) technique and compare its obturation quality with that of lateral compaction (LC), warm vertical compaction (WVC) and continuous wave compaction techniques (CWC). The obturation time was also compared among the four techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-four single-rooted teeth with 0-5° root canal ...

ViMiC (Virtual Microphone Control) is a new toolbox for real-time synthesis of spatial sounds, particularly for concert situations and sound installations, and especially for larger or non-centralized audiences. Based on the concept of virtual microphones positioned within a virtual 3D room, ViMiC supports loudspeaker reproduction up to 24 discrete loudspeaker channels whereby the loudspeakers ...

Background/Aim: To evaluate void volumes in oval-shaped root canals obturated with three different obturation systems using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT). Material and Methods: Twenty-four distal roots of mandibular molar teeth were prepared randomly divided into groups (n = 8 each group). The single cone (SC), GuttaCore (GC), warm vertical compaction (WVC) techniques. Each specimen was s...

Reviewing and integrating key concepts learning goals at the end of a biology course can be overwhelming to students instructors alike. Often end-of-term review sessions in preparation for final exams are heavily based on memorization, content coverage may favored over students’ deeper understanding fewer ideas. We developed exam virtual introductory evolution using an “escape room&...
