The self-adjusting file (SAF). Part 1: respecting the root canal anatomy--a new concept of endodontic files and its implementation.
TL;DR: The self-adjusting file (SAF) represents a new step forward in endodontic file development that may overcome many of the shortcomings of current rotary nickel-titanium file systems.

TL;DR: The cytotoxicity of AH Plus gradually decreased and became noncytotoxic, whereas BC Sealer remained moderately cytotoxic over the 6-week period, and further studies are required to evaluate the correlation between the length of setting time of BC sealer and its degree of cytot toxicity.

Effects of moisture content and endodontic treatment on some mechanical properties of human dentin
TL;DR: The results showed that the dehydration of dentin increases the Young's modulus, proportional limit (in compression), and especially the ultimate strength (in both compression and tension) and supports the theory that dehydration after endodontic treatment per se weakens dentin structure in terms of compressive and tensile strengths.

Leakage along apical root fillings in curved root canals. Part I: effects of apical transportation on seal of root fillings.
TL;DR: It is concluded that occurrence of AT is a factor that negatively influences the apical seal when curved canals are obturated by lateral condensation of gutta-percha.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that operating microscope and CBCT have been important for locating and identifying root canals, andCBCT can be used as a good method for initial identification of maxillary first molar internal morphology.
