Surgical repair of root and tooth perforations
TL;DR: The diagnosis, management and repair of root perforations require skill and creative thinking and the procedure has become more predictable owing to the development of new materials, techniques and procedures.

Apical extent of rotary canal instrumentation with an apexlocating handpiece in vitro
TL;DR: Instrumentation with the automatic apical reverse feature set at 1 consistently approximated the apical constriction; however, the constriction was frequently enlarged.

Analyzing Endosonic Root Canal File Oscillations: An In Vitro Evaluation
TL;DR: At higher generator powers, energy delivered to the file is dissipated in unwanted vibration resulting in reduced vibration displacement amplitudes, which may reduce the occurrence of the biophysical forces necessary to maximize the technique's effectiveness.

A comparison of stresses produced during lateral and vertical condensation using engineering models.
TL;DR: This study suggests that lateral condensation may be more likely to produce undesirable stress concentrations than is vertical condensation, and it is possible to use a plugger to compact gutta-percha a considerable distance from the point of force application.

Human oral cells’ response to different endodontic restorative materials: an in vitro study
TL;DR: MTA and Biodentine showed a good biocompatibility in contact with the human osteoblasts and cells of the periodontal ligament and can be considered as a well-tolerated bioactive endodontic material.
