Optimizing Root Canal Therapy: An In Vitro Comparative Study of Innovative File Systems on Mandibular Premolar Fracture Resistance.

Introduction And Aim:  Root canal therapy is a vital procedure for saving teeth by removing infection and cleaning the complex root canal system. However, a delicate balance exists between thorough cleaning and preserving tooth strength. The study aims to evaluate the instrumentation effect of three innovative file systems, XP-endo® shaper, Reciproc®, and Self-adjusting file (SAF) on fracture resistance of mandibular premolars.

The Characteristics and Patterns of Drug-Resistant Pulmonary Tuberculosis in Eastern India.

Background: Drug-resistant tuberculosis is a major public health problem throughout the world and accounts for substantial morbidity and mortality rates in India, too. Early diagnosis is the corner stone of tuberculosis treatment. State-level and cluster-wise variations in drug resistance is a possibility and should be regularly checked in from time to time.
