Aim: To evaluate the efficacy of Neo-endo, Hyflex retreatment file systems, and H-files for removing gutta-percha from root canal treated tooth.

Materials And Methods: Thirty extracted single-rooted human teeth with a single canal were opted. The shaping of the root canals was done with pro-taper universal files and later obturated.

Background: Post-operative pain after endodontic treatment is a common occurrence, and its prevalence is mostly high immediately after treatment, decreasing in one day and reportedly reaching minimal levels 7 days after treatment. This research focuses on the final flushing of the root canal with different irrigating solutions to reduce its occurrence.

An easy naked-eye detection technique for mercuric ions in water using silanized quantum dots is demonstrated. Cadmium selenide quantum dots were synthesized and rendered water soluble by silica overcoating. The quantum dot emission was instantly turned off by the mercuric ions in the analyte, enabling visual detection.

Across eukaryotes, gene regulation is manifested via chromatin states roughly distinguished as heterochromatin and euchromatin. The establishment, maintenance, and modulation of the chromatin states is mediated using several factors including chromatin modifiers. However, factors that avoid the intrusion of silencing signals into protein-coding genes are poorly understood.
