Article Synopsis
- This study compared three methods for apicectomy—NINJA piezoelectric device, diamond bur, and Er: YAG laser—focusing on temperature rise, time taken, and cut quality.
- Results showed the piezoelectric method had the highest temperature increase and took the longest time, while the laser methods showed better cut quality with fewer cracks and less smear layer formation.
- The study concluded that Er: YAG laser and rotary instruments are efficient and safer alternatives for apicectomy compared to piezoelectric devices, suggesting that further research is needed to confirm the laser's effectiveness in real-life applications.
Background/purpose: Different moisture condition may affect the adhesion between obturation materials and root canal walls, thus further affect the quality of root canal obturation. The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of dentin moisture conditions after different root canal drying protocols on the push-out strength of bioceramic root canal sealer.
Materials And Methods: Twenty root canals from extracted human decoronated premolars were prepared in vitro to #30/0.
