Context: Due to advancements in adhesive technology and the introduction of fiber reinforcement, there has been a paradigm shift towards a more minimally invasive approach in coronal restoration of endodontically treated teeth.

Aims: This research aimed to evaluate and compare fracture resistance of postendodontic restoration using a self-adhesive bioactive resin and a bulk-fill composite with or without resin-impregnated glass fibers.

Materials And Methods: Mesio-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared on 80 extracted human maxillary premolars.

Article Synopsis
  • - This review assessed the effectiveness of KTP lasers in dental bleaching by comparing color changes and temperature increases after using KTP, Nd:YAG, Er:YAG, and diode lasers in teeth from studies published between 2000 and 2021.
  • - The analysis included a total of four in vitro studies, which were evaluated for quality, revealing that KTP lasers achieved the most significant color change with the least intrapulpal temperature rise.
  • - It concluded that the effectiveness of bleaching treatments depends on the type of tooth discoloration and the activation method used, with KTP lasers showing the best results while emphasizing the advantage of combining bleaching with light sources for quicker and deeper color changes.

Introduction: Root Canal Treatment (RCT) has become a mainstream procedure in dentistry. A successful RCT is presented by absence of clinical signs and symptoms in teeth without any radiographic evidence of periodontal involvement. Completing this procedure in one visit or multiple visits has long been a topic of discussion.
