The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of glide path preparation on the surface topography changes of WaveOne and OneShape single files using atomic force microscopy analysis. Two commercially available brands of single file systems were analyzed, including 15 specimens/brand as following: Group I; WaveOne 0.08/25 (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and Group II; OneShape 0.06/25 (Micro Mega, Besançon, France). In each group, 3 new files were subjected to AFM analysis as received from manufacturer, and 12 files were analyzed after preparation of root canals. A total of 20 human maxillary molar teeth were selected. In each group, 12 files were divided into 4 subgroups according to instruments that were used in one or three root canals with or without a previous glide path (n = 3). After preparation the surface analysis of single files was performed on 11 different points located along a 3-mm section starting at the tip of each file using AFM. Root mean square (RMS) values were recorded to investigate the surface features of endodontic files. The differences between RMS values were tested by one-way ANOVA. There was no statistically significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05). Creation of a glide path did not affect the surface topography of single file systems.

Background: This study aims to compare design, phase transformation behavior, and torsional resistance of the ProGlider (PG) and ProTaper ultimate slider (PUS) and to compare the performance of two files in the glide-path preparation of a double-curved artificial canal.
Methods: Scanning electron microscopy, micro-computed tomography, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the samples. A torsional resistance test was performed to obtain ultimate strength and distortion angle.

This study assessed the impact of pre-enlarging the root canal using a size 25 K-file on the fracture incidence of three reciprocating instruments after multiple uses. After a glide path performed with a size 15 K-file, the instruments (Reciproc R25, Reciproc Blue R25, and WaveOne Gold Primary) were initially used in 936 root canals. Then, for the second and third uses (933 and 927, respectively), a pre-enlargement using a size 25 K-file at the working length was done.

Article Synopsis
- - The RBCC engine is a promising propulsion system for launching vehicles into orbit, but maintaining efficient combustion during mode transitions is challenging due to low incoming flow temperatures.
- - New research proposes using plasma combustion support to enhance RBCC engine performance during these mode transitions, particularly from ejector/ramjet to ramjet/scramjet modes.
- - Numerical simulations indicate that adding arc plasma increases heat release and thrust while reducing aerodynamic drag during transitions, and it also stabilizes thrust fluctuations and decreases transition times at high Mach numbers.

Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro comparative assessment of root canal centering ratio and canal transportation associated with ProTaper Universal (PTU) (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), ProTaper Next (PTN) (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and ProTaper Gold (PTG) (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA) rotary file systems, with or without glide-path preparation, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis. Materials and methods A total of 120 mesial roots of extracted human mandibular first molar teeth were collected and randomly divided into three groups (n = 40) depending on the type of rotary file system used for mesiobuccal root canal instrumentation: Group 1: PTU, Group 2: PTN, and Group 3: PTG rotary file systems. Each group was further divided into two Sub-groups (a and b) with 20 specimens, depending on whether glide-path preparation was performed using the ProGlider (PG) file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland).
