Article Synopsis
- This study compares the effectiveness of six different endodontic files in shaping moderately curved root canals using micro-CT technology.
- Sixty lower molars were divided into six groups, each treated with a different file, and their canal geometries were analyzed before and after preparation.
- While WG and RB showed similar shaping abilities, TN and XP also performed comparably; however, TN altered canal anatomy the least despite having the lowest surface contact percentage.
- Overall, all file types were effective in cleaning and shaping the canals while minimizing changes to the canal's apical area.
TRUShape Versus XP-endo Shaper: A Micro-computed Tomographic Assessment and Comparative Study of the Shaping Ability-An In Vitro Study.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare the shaping ability of two dental instruments, XP-endo Shaper and TRUShape, in prepping moderately curved root canals using advanced imaging technology.
- Twenty maxillary premolars were divided into two groups and analyzed before and after root canal treatment to evaluate various factors like dentin removal and canal anatomy.
- Results showed no significant differences in effectiveness between the two instruments, indicating that both maintained the natural structure of the canals and performed equally well in reducing untreated surfaces and canal deviation.
This case report presents the finding of an aberrant right subclavian artery during the routine dissection of 230 human adults specimens. The case which we describe appeared in an 82-year-old male donor, in whom the right retro-esophageal subclavian artery was observed as the last branch of the aortic arch. The rate of occurrence of this variation is stated to be less than 1%.

Results show different immunocytochemical patterns in all centers studied, the geniculate lateral complex (LGC), superior colliculus (SC) and primary visual cortex (Oc1), depending on the physical characteristics of the stimulus (blinking frequency and light wavelength). After stimulation of the left eye, the ipsilateral pathway presents a substantial density of immunoresponsive cells, which is greater than expected with respect to the number of fibers that project ipsilaterally from the retina to the LGC and the superficial layers of the SC.

Int J Radiat Biol
September 1995
Four hundred domestic quail eggs (Coturnix coturnix japonica) were used to study the possible teratogenic effects of extremely low frequency magnetic fields (ELF-MFs) on early embryonic development. Ten females were selected from a flock on the basis of their high fertility rate and low number of spontaneous abnormalities and they were selectivity maintained in nesting-boxes in a room where feeding and environmental conditions were carefully controlled. All the eggs used in the experiments were filiated by their progemtor, and were handled in the same way from the time they were laid until the point at which they were placed in a specially designed incubator, which dramatically reduces the stray magnetic fields produced by the heating system.
