Separation of instrument in the root canal is a common mishap that occurs during the cleaning and shaping procedure. So many different methods have been developed to retrieve fractured instruments from root canal. Separated instrument leads to incomplete cleaning of root canal and eventually causes posttreatment disease. For successful completion of treatment, a separated instrument must be retrieved and if not, a bypass must be attempted. This article presents four cases requiring removal of separated instruments from the root canal. All four cases were successfully treated by conservative means of instrument retrieval by using two different techniques.

With over two millennia of history, traditional Chinese acupuncture ranks among the most renowned forms of supplementary and other healthcare. The use of acupuncture releases endorphins and serotonin, two naturally occurring painkillers, into the nervous system and stimulates it. It also modifies how pain signals are processed and perceived.

Objectives: To compare a novel photon-counting sensor, two CBCT protocols and two CMOS sensors on the detection of gaps between a gutta-percha cone and root canal walls.
Methods: Twenty-five mandibular incisors were prepared to 45/.04 (size/taper) at working length.
Odontogenic cutaneous fistulas are abnormal connections between the oral cavity and skin, often mistaken for skin infections. They typically result from dental infections but may also arise from salivary gland issues, tumors, or congenital anomalies. Accurate diagnosis is essential to prevent complications like infection, osteomyelitis, and discomfort.

Department of Endodontics, School of Dentistry, Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, Iran.
Objectives: This study aimed to compare the marginal adaptation of a cold ceramic (CC) sealer with the single-cone obturation technique with that of an AH-26 sealer with the lateral compaction technique in single-canal teeth.
Materials And Methods: In this in vitro experimental study, the root canals of 24 extracted single-rooted single-canal teeth were instrumented to F3 files by the crown-down technique and randomly assigned to 2 groups (n = 12). The root canals were obturated with a CC sealer and single-cone obturation technique with 4% gutta-percha in group 1 and with an AH-26 sealer and lateral compaction technique with 2% gutta-percha in group 2.
