Background: The aim of this study was to compare the retreatment time and the removal efficiency of different root canal sealers using WaveOne Gold reciproc file system by measuring required time.

Materials And Methods: Forty-five mandibular premolars were prepared and randomly divided into three groups (n = 15). In Groups 1-3, the canals were filled with gutta-percha and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) Fillapex, EndoREZ, and AH26, respectively. After 7 days, root canal filling materials (RCFM) were removed with WaveOne Gold reciproc files by measuring time. Teeth were grooved and sectioned longitudinally, then remaining RCFM was evaluated using digital camera. The images were transferred to image analysis software to measure the areas of remaining RCFM. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance and Tukey's test (α = 0.05).

Results: There was a statistically significant difference between groups according to time required for removing RCFM (P < 0.05). The time required for removing RCFM was significantly shorter in Group 1 and longer in Group 3 than the other groups (P < 0.05). In Group 1, the remaining RCFM was more than other groups at middle third (P < 0.05), but there was no statistically significant difference between groups at coronal and apical thirds (P > 0.05).

Conclusions: None of the sealers evaluated in this study could completely be removed from the root canals. MTA-based sealer was removed faster than resin-based sealers.

Early diagnosis of infectious diseases is one of the current prevalent challenges, especially in low and limited resource settings where simple, fast, portable, cheap, and sensitive diagnostic approaches are needed. Lateral flow immunoassay (LFIA) is a common, rapid screening assay. However, the low assay sensitivity limits the utility of LFIA for specimens with low pathogenic loads (early infection stages).

Background And Objectives: Family physicians are poised to provide medical care to older adults residing in the broad range of facilities now currently available to this population. To date, geriatric training has focused on skilled nursing facilities, particularly for the required Review Committee for Family Medicine (RC-FM) longitudinal experience. This article describes the development and evaluation of an RC-FM approved assisted living curricular variance to the current nursing home longitudinal experience with emphasis on the principles of the Patient-centered Medical Home (PCMH) model and an interprofessional team concept.

Background And Objectives: Maternity care training in family medicine is a major component of our specialty. The Association of Family Medicine Residency Directors (AFMRD) issued a position paper calling for a two-tiered system of training for family physicians based on concern that some residency programs are unable to meet the current Residency Committee-Family Medicine (RC-FM) requirements for maternity care training. This two-tiered system was also endorsed by other family medicine organizations, including the AAFP, ADFM, NAPCRG, and STFM.
