Enhancing Precision in Endodontic Procedures: An Investigation of Magnification and Enhanced Visualization.

Background: Endodontic procedures require precise manipulation and visualization to achieve optimal treatment outcomes. Magnification and enhanced visualization tools, such as dental loupes and dental operating microscopes (DOMs), have been introduced to enhance precision in endodontic practice.

Materials And Methods: Extracted human teeth with single-rooted canals were divided into two groups: a control group without magnification and an experimental group with magnification and enhanced visualization.

Comparative Assessment of Qmix as Endodontic Irrigant on Reversal of Bond Strength in Teeth Subjected to Irradiation: An Scanning Electron Microscope Study.

Aim: The aim of this current study was to compare and evaluate the reversal efficacy of Qmix and chitosan-based irrigation materials quantitatively through the assessment of the push-out bond strength of bioceramic sealer employing universal testing machine and to qualitatively analyze the sealer/dentin interface by scanning electron microscope (SEM) in the teeth subjected to fractioned radiation.

Materials And Methods: Ninety single-rooted straight human maxillary central incisors were randomly divided into six groups ( = 15) where in three groups comprise Chitosan, Qmix, and EDTA/sodium hypochlorite which were not exposed to irradiation while other three groups were challenged with irradiation protocols. Root canals were prepared with ProTaper universal system and all the samples were irrigated according to the final irrigation protocols and obturated with bioceramic sealers.
