Cutting efficiency of twisted versus machined nickel-titanium endodontic files.
TL;DR: The TF system was found to cut dentin efficiently with more uniform cutting than ProTaper system, and no significant difference was recorded for the changes in root canal volume between the two systems.

The degrees and configurations of mesial canal curvatures of mandibular first molars
Nevin Kartal,Hale Cimilli +1 more
TL;DR: The objective of this study was to determine the frequency, degree of curvature, and the configuration of mesiobuccal and mesiolingual root canals of mandibular first molars.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparison of four different microleakage tests for assessment of leakage of root canal fillings.
TL;DR: There is poor correlation between various methods to evaluate hydraulic leakage, and the clinical significance of leakage tests in vitro is questionable.

Effects of Thermal Vitality Tests on Human Dental Pulp
TL;DR: Assessment of tooth vitality with either heated gutta-percha or CO 2 snow does not jeopardize the health of the pulp, and temperature in the region of the pulpodentinal junction did not reach noxious levels.

Dynamic Movement of Intracanal Gas Bubbles during Cleaning and Shaping Procedures: The Effect of Maintaining Apical Patency on Their Presence in the Middle and Cervical Thirds of Human Root Canals—An In Vivo Study
TL;DR: The presence of gas bubbles in the middle and cervical thirds of the root canal system during cleaning and shaping procedures is a common finding regardless of whether a patency file was used, although maintaining apical patency significantly leads to minimizing the presence ofGas bubbles in big canals.
