Background This in-vitro study aimed to evaluate the internal adaptation, marginal fit, and applicability of digital intraoral impression techniques for onlays fabricated using computer-aided design (CAD)-computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) and three-dimensional (3D) printing techniques using a stereomicroscope and micro-CT scan. Methodology A total of 20 extracted mandibular first molars were selected for this study. The teeth were then divided into two groups.

Clinical studies, demonstrating preservation of pulpal vitality with the use of biomimetic materials in deep carious lesions, are lacking in the literature.
Objective: This clinical study aims to assess the treatment outcome of vital pulp therapy using Biodentine in cases of deep carious lesion in a single visit treatment protocol.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of two retreatment rotary systems in the removal of Gutta-percha (GP) and sealer from the root canal walls with or without solvent.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight extracted human mandibular first premolars were prepared and obturated with GP and AH Plus sealer. Samples were then randomly divided into four groups.
Introduction: Sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), the most commonly used irrigant, has many potential properties like its unique ability to dissolve pulp tissue, excellent antimicrobial activity, but has a cytotoxic effect when injected into periapical tissues. It is also known to produce allergic reactions, foul smell and taste, and potential for corrosion. Facultative organisms such as and aerobes like are considered to be the most resistant species and one of the possible causes of root canal treatment failure.

So thorough knowledge of both the external and internal anatomy of teeth is an important aspect of root canal treatment. With the advancement in technology it is imperative to use modern diagnostic tools such as magnification devices, CBCT, microscopes, and RVG to confirm the presence of these aberrant configurations.
