Scanning Electron Microscopic Evaluation of Surface Defects of Remover Retreatment File After Single and Multiple Uses.

This study aimed to evaluate surface defects of Remover rotary Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) files after single and multiple uses in conventional endodontic retreatment procedures using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Eighty acrylic blocks, simulating root canals with a 1.5 mm internal diameter, a 5 mm radius of curvature, and a 55° curvature, were utilized.

Impact of Solvent Properties of Cold-Pressed and Steam-Distilled Orange Oils on GuttaFlow2 and Gutta-Percha.

Introduction: Root canal retreatment often employs organic solvents like chloroform, eucalyptol, and orange oil. However, studies comparing their effectiveness yield inconsistent results. The quantity of d-limonene, a crucial component in orange oil, varies depending on the oil production method.

Assessment of artificial intelligence applications in responding to dental trauma.

Background: This study assessed the consistency and accuracy of responses provided by two artificial intelligence (AI) applications, ChatGPT and Google Bard (Gemini), to questions related to dental trauma.

Materials And Methods: Based on the International Association of Dental Traumatology guidelines, 25 dichotomous (yes/no) questions were posed to ChatGPT and Google Bard over 10 days. The responses were recorded and compared with the correct answers.
