Ferric carboxymaltose therapy reduces pain and improves the quality of life in female patients with fibromyalgia.

Objective: The efficacy of treatments for fibromyalgia is limited and many factors have been identified to trigger the current complaints. Iron deficiency anemia is one of these factors. We aimed to re-evaluate the quality of life of fibromyalgia patients with the Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire after ferric carboxymaltose treatment.

Retreatability of root canals obturated using mineral trioxide aggregate-based and two resin-based sealers.

Background: The aim of this study was to compare the retreatment time and the removal efficiency of different root canal sealers using WaveOne Gold reciproc file system by measuring required time.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five mandibular premolars were prepared and randomly divided into three groups (n = 15). In Groups 1-3, the canals were filled with gutta-percha and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) Fillapex, EndoREZ, and AH26, respectively.

Evaluation of antimicrobial and thermal effects of diode laser on root canal dentin.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of diode laser and temperature rise on the root surface during application.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-six teeth were chemomechanically prepared and irrigated with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite and 17% ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, and then autoclaved and incubated with a suspension of Enterococcus faecalis.

Apical transportation during removal of root canal filling with different retreatment systems.

Introduction: This study aimed to compare apical transportation during retreatment using ProTaper Universal retreatment (PTUR), Mtwo R and D-RaCe instruments in curved root canals.

Methods: 36 extracted mandibular molar teeth with curved mesiobuccal roots were selected. The teeth were embedded into acrylic blocks.

Evaluation of crown discoloration induced by endodontic sealers and colour change ratio determination after bleaching.

The aim of this study was to evaluate tooth discoloration after the use of root canal sealers and the effect of internal bleaching on sealer discoloration. The crowns of 56 incisors were cut and randomly filled with four sealers (n = 14): Pulpispad, AH26, MTA Fillapex, EndoREZ. The colour measurement was taken with a spectrophotometer prior and after placement of sealers.
