This study investigates the temperature changes on the external root surface during root canal preparation using different rotary systems and assesses the impact of irrigation temperatures. Sixty extracted human maxillary incisors were divided into four groups based on the rotary system used: ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), Reciproc Blue (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany), WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and TruNatomy (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland). These systems differ in cutting efficiency and design.

- Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is a degenerative disease affecting the knee, leading many patients to require total knee arthroplasty (TKA) when non-surgical treatments fail.
- A study involving 50 patients assessed MRI features and their correlations with functional scores, revealing high prevalence of cartilage lesions and osteophytes among participants.
- Key findings indicated a consistent MRI pattern for TKA candidates, highlighting significant lesions in multiple knee compartments and suggesting the severity of KOA based on specific imaging characteristics.
