Aim: This study aimed to assess and evaluate the quality of root canal fillings (RCFs) conducted on mandibular first molars performed by endodontists in the Asir region, Saudi Arabia.
Participants And Methods: A cross-sectional radiographical study was conducted among patients over 18 years old from both genders treated by endodontists with different qualifications and experiences. The treatments were carried out under similar operating field, materials, and equipment.
Article Synopsis
- This systematic review evaluates the quality of root canal fillings (RCF) and procedural errors when using rotary systems in various clinical settings, analyzing studies published from January 2020 to March 2024.
- Sixteen clinical studies were reviewed, showing high acceptance percentages for key RCF metrics: obturation length (76.3%), density (74.7%), and taper (82.5%), with an overall acceptability rate of 68.2% for the fillings.
- The review concludes that using rotary instruments in root canal treatments generally yields good quality results and limited procedural errors across different practice environments, promoting their recommendation for clinical use.
BACKGROUND The restoration of endodontically treated teeth (ETT) and severely damaged teeth has been a concern of clinicians. Glass Fiber Post (GFPs) combine the strength of carbon fiber posts with the esthetic appearance of glass to resemble natural dentin during dental restoration procedures. This radiographical study assessed the GFP carried out by students enrolled in the Clinical Comprehensive Course at the College of Dentistry, Jazan University.

Background: This simulated study of 30 severely curved L-shaped root canals aimed to compare preparation time, aberrations, width measurements, and fractured files of three nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) files, namely, ProTaper, ProTaper Next (PTN), and WaveOne (WO).
Methods: Thirty simulated L-curved root canals of resin blocks were randomly divided into three groups. The canals were prepared to a tip size of 25 using ProTaper, PTN, and WO rotary file systems.
A Comparative Analysis of Marginal Adaptation Values between Lithium Disilicate Glass Ceramics and Zirconia-Reinforced Lithium Silicate Endocrowns: A Systematic Review of In Vitro Studies.

Article Synopsis
- * A comprehensive literature search was conducted using various databases, examining 17 studies published between 2016 and 2023 that focused on various endocrown designs and materials.
- * The findings indicated that while marginal adaptation values were similar for both materials, heat-pressed systems showed slightly higher gaps than CAD/CAM systems; overall, the adaptation values for both were within an acceptable range for posterior teeth.
