Quantitative evaluation of the accuracy of micro-computed tomography in tooth measurement.

TL;DR: Evaluating the accuracy of MCT quantitatively was found to be a reliable method of making linear measurements and may be a useful device for measuring distance and for observing both internal and external tooth structure using the reconstructed 3D form.

Binary morphological shape-based interpolation applied to 3-D tooth reconstruction

TL;DR: An interpolation algorithm using a mathematical morphology morphing approach to reconstruct the n-dimensional object from a group of (n-1)-dimensional sets representing sections of that object, and proves the convergence of the morphological morphing.

A Study of the Porosity of Activated Carbons Using the Scanning Electron Microscope

TL;DR: A great deal of research has been spent on understanding factors that affect the development of porosity of activated carbons and how to model the porosity in terms of these factors.

"in vitro" evaluation of the apical sealing of root canals obturated with different techniques avaliação "in vitro" do selament o apical dos canais radiculares em função de diferentes técnicas de obturação

TL;DR: The Microseal system presented the best apical sealing ability, followed by System B, JS Quick-Fill, Ultrafil and the lateral condensation technique, which demonstrated similar sealing ability.

"In vitro" evaluation of the apical sealing of root canals obturated with different techniques

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the apical sealing of root canals obturated with different techniques and found that the Microseal system presented the best apical seal ability, followed by System B, JS Quick-Fill, Ultrafil and the lateral condensation technique.

Endodontic leakage studies reconsidered. Part I. Methodology, application and relevance.

TL;DR: It seems that more research should be done on leakage study methodology, instead of continuing to evaluate the sealing ability of different materials and techniques by methods that may give little relevant information.

Isotope determination of root canal failure.

TL;DR: This simple experiment emphasizes the two most important procedures in root canal therapy: thorough canal enlargement by instrumentation and complete canal obturation.

Particles and molecules in endodontic leakage.

TL;DR: Investigation to find out to what degree obturation prevents leakage of bacteria-sized particles or large protein molecules, and if leakage of the commonly used dye methylene blue is comparable with that of a small bacterial metabolic product of similar molecular size.

A comparison of the apical dye penetration patterns shown by methylene blue and India ink in root‐filled teeth

TL;DR: This study compared the linear leakage patterns shown by 5% aqueous solution of methylene blue (MB) and India ink (II) and concluded that MB, which has a low molecular weight penetrated more deeply along root canal fillings than II, which had a large particle size.

A comparative study of the apical leakage of four root canal sealers and laterally condensed gutta-percha.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that a root canal sealer should be used in conjunction with laterally condensed gutta-percha and that AH26 sealer provides a significantly better apical seal than the other sealers.
