Aim: The aim of this research was to assess the damage to root dentin that arises from retreatment with different engine-driven NiTi retreatment files employing micro-computed tomography.
Materials And Methods: Sixty mandibular premolar teeth having a single root and root canal that were recently extracted were gathered and stored. The specimens were de-coronated at the cementoenamel junction under water irrigation to achieve a homogeneous root length of 16 millimeters.
Objective: To assess public awareness regarding endodontic treatment and assess patients' knowledge regarding endodontic treatment.
Materials And Methods: A questionnaire was prepared and given to 300 patients who had visited the Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics between November 2021 and October 2022, after obtaining ethical clearance and consent from all the participants. The questionnaire included sociodemographic details and about their knowledge about endodontic treatment.
Background The long-term use of calcium hydroxide, or Ca(OH)2, on dentin has been established in the literature. However, scarce data is available on dentin wettability with Ca(OH)2. Aim The present study was conducted to assess the outcomes of Ca(OH)2 use on the wettability of dentin following two and four weeks of using sealers of bioceramic (BC) and Tubli-Seal™ in the root canal.

- The study aimed to evaluate how effectively different irrigants (MTAD, NaOCl, EDTA, and chlorhexidine gluconate) remove the smear layer from root canals and their antibacterial properties against certain bacterial strains.
- Sixty extracted teeth were divided into five groups, with one group using saline as a control, while the others used various irrigants during root canal treatment, followed by SEM examination and testing for antibacterial action.
- Results showed that MTAD and 17% EDTA effectively removed the smear layer, while MTAD demonstrated the strongest antibacterial action, though the direct applicability of these findings to clinical settings is uncertain.
