Context: Endodontic retreatment is the first line of treatment in cases of failed primary endodontic treatment. Although associated with challenges such as incomplete removal of obturating material, increased clinical time, and extrusion of apical debris, endodontic retreatment still has considerable success rate in the general population.

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the efficacy of TruNatomy, ProTaper retreatment, and RaCe file systems to remove the obturating material, time taken to remove the obturating material, and apical extrusion of debris using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate apical microleakage in root canals containing broken rotary instruments obturated with cold lateral condensation and thermoplasticized injectable gutta-percha, with different sealers, using glucose penetration leakage study.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 96 extracted human mandibular premolars were decoronated, and the roots were randomly divided into eight groups ( = 12). Root canals were instrumented with #30 4% taper rotary files.
