Objective: To evaluate the efficacy and security of two type of rotary nickel titanium system (Twisted File and ProTaper Universal) for root canal preparation based on micro-computed tomography(micro-CT).
Methods: Twenty extracted molars (including 62 canals) were divided into two experimental groups and were respectively instrumented using Twisted File rotary nickel titanium system (TF) and ProTaper Universal rotary nickel titanium system (PU) to #25/0.08 following recommended protocol. Time for root canal instrumentation (accumulation of time for every single file) was recorded. The 0-3 mm root surface from apex was observed under an optical stereomicroscope at 25 × magnification. The presence of crack line was noted. The root canals were scanned with micro-CT before and after root canal preparation. Three-dimensional shape images of canals were reconstructed, calculated and evaluated. The amount of canal central transportation of the two groups was calculated and compared.
Results: The shorter preparation time [(0.53 ± 0.14) min] was observed in TF group, while the preparation time of PU group was (2.06 ± 0.39) min (P<0.05). In mid-root level, TF group shaping resulted in less canal center transportation than PU group [(0.070 ± 0.056) mm vs. (0.097 ± 0.084) mm, P<0.05]. No instrument separation was observed in both the groups. Cracks were not found in both the groups either based in micro-CT images or observation under an optical stereomicroscope at 25 × magnification.
Conclusion: Compared with ProTaper Universal, Twisted File took less time in root canal preparation and exhibited better shaping ability, and less canal transportation.

Objective: To investigate DNA methylation of specific tumor suppressor genes in endometrial hyperplasia compared to normal endometrial tissue. File and methodology: To search for epigenetic events, methylation-specific multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification was employed to compare the methylation status of 40 tissue samples with atypical endometrial hyperplasia, 40 tissue samples with endometrial hyperplasia without atypia, and 40 control tissue samples with a normal endometrium.
Results And Conclusion: Differences in DNA methylation among the groups were found in TWIST1, GATA4, MUS81, and NTRK1 genes (TWIST1: atypical hyperplasia 67.

Purpose: This study evaluated transportation and extruded debris during preparation using different instruments.
Methods: Sixty resin blocks with S-shaped canals and 60 extracted teeth were separated into four groups (n = 15), which were instrumented with Reciproc Blue, XP-endo Shaper, WaveOne Gold, and Twisted File Adaptive. For evaluating transportation, pre- and post-preparation images were obtained under a stereomicroscope and superimposed with digital software.

Background/purpose: Temperature-dependent phase compositional changes influence the mechanical properties of heat-treated nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments. This study evaluated the phase composition, bending properties, and cyclic fatigue resistance of HyFlex EDM NiTi rotary instruments against differently heat-treated and non-heat-treated NiTi instruments at body temperature (BT).
Materials And Methods: HyFlex EDM OneFile (EDM) instruments, heat-treated HyFlex CM (CM) and Twisted File (TF) instruments, and non-heat-treated K3 instruments (size #25/.

Background Successful endodontic treatment relies on the effective removal of debris and the prevention of smear layer formation within the root canals. The choice of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary instrument systems can significantly impact these outcomes. Aim This study aims to evaluate and compare the debris and smear layer formation in root canals of extracted mandibular second premolar teeth following instrumentation with the ProTaper Universal (Dentsply Sirona, Charlotte, NC) (Group II), Twisted File (Kerr Endodontics, Gilbert, AZ) (Group III), and XP Endo (FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) (Group IV) Ni-Ti rotary instrument systems.
