Shaping Ability of XP-Endo Shaper Files with Extended Use Time and Reciproc Blue 40.06 in Oval Canals: A Micro-Computed Tomography Study in Contralateral Premolars.

Introduction: This study evaluated the shaping ability of the single-file XP-endo Shaper (XP-S) system, employing an extended working time, and the Reciproc Blue #40/.06 (REC) instrument during the preparation of oval-shaped canals.

Methods: Eleven pairs of contralateral premolars with a single canal were divided into two groups (n = 11) according to the canal preparation protocol: XP-S (with an additional 45 seconds of instrumentation) and REC.

and for Fermentation of Four Different Coffee Varieties.

One strategy for adding unique characteristics and flavors to improve coffee quality is the selection of starter microorganisms. Here, we aimed to evaluate the effect of LNFCA11 and B10 as starter cultures on the quality of four different wet-fermented coffee varieties. Microbiological, molecular, and chemical analyses were carried out to identify yeast, bacteria, volatile compounds, carbohydrates and bioactive compounds in coffee.
