Introduction: The goal of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of 5 heat-treated nickel-titanium files in reciprocating movement with the same tip size and different cross sections.
Methods: Five groups (WaveOne [Dentsply, Ballaigues, Switzerland], WaveOne GOLD [Dentsply], RECIPROC [VDW, Munich, Germany], RECIPROC BLUE [VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany], and TF [Sybron Endo, Glendora, CA] Adaptive) of 24 files each of the rotary files were examined. Cyclic fatigue resistance was compared between groups by determining the time needed to fracture and the number of cycles to failure in a cyclic fatigue testing device with 2 different curvatures, the first with a 5-mm radius of curvature and a 60° angle and the second with a double curvature, coronal curvature of 60° angle and a radius of 5 mm, and an apical curvature of 70° angle and a 2-mm radius. Scanning electron microscopic evaluation was performed at the fracture sites to investigate the types of fracture.
Results: RECIPROC BLUE group had a higher mean time to fracture followed by RECIPROC and WaveOne GOLD for both single and double curvature. WaveOne had a higher mean time to fracture in a single curvature canal than TF Adaptive, whereas the opposite was true for a double curvature canal. Both RECIPROC groups were significantly greater in cyclic fatigue resistance in comparison with all other groups (P < .05). WaveOne GOLD was significantly greater than the WaveOne and TF Adaptive groups (P < .05).
Conclusions: RECIPROC BLUE files exhibited significantly greater cyclic fatigue resistance compared with other files tested in an S-shaped artificial canal.

Seagrass meadows are one of the most productive ecosystems of the world. Seagrass enhances biodiversity, sequesters CO and functions as a coastal protection measure by mitigating waves and enhancing sedimentation. However, populations are declining in many regions and natural recolonization of bare sediment beds is protracted and unlikely.

Stretchable conductive hydrogels have attracted great attention in flexible electronics. Nevertheless, conductive hydrogels would suffer from an inevitable damage during use, significantly reducing the reliability and limiting the practicability. Herein, stretchable and self-healing conductive hydrogels are designed form carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), polyacrylic acid (PAA), and Fe, which are applied for monitoring human motions and electrophysiological signals.

The aim of this study is to assess the presence of MDP at various stages of the bonding procedure, enhance the adhesive and mechanical behavior of cemented zirconia ceramics. Fifty ceramic slices (15 × 15 × 2 mm) and 48 discs (Ø= 10 mm, 1 mm thickness) were prepared, sintered, air-abraded with aluminum oxide, and allocated considering: 1) microshear bond strength (µSBS) between ceramic slices and luting agent cylinders (height= 1 mm, Ø= 1.2 mm); 2) fatigue behavior, ceramic discs paired and bonded onto fiber-epoxy resin discs (Ø= 10 mm, 2.

The reliability of nanocomposite conductive inks under cyclic loading is the key to designing robust flexible electronics. Although resistance increases with cycling and models exist, the exact degradation mechanism is not well understood and is critical for developing inks. This study links cracking behavior to changes in electrical resistance by performing in situ cyclic stretch experiments in scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with synchronized resistance measurements.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the margin quality of anterior crowns made of experimental short fiber-reinforced CAD/CAM composite (SFRC CAD) block before and after cyclic fatigue aging. Moreover, to investigate the microstructure, homogeneity, and porosity of the SFRC CAD compared with other commercial CAD/CAM materials.
Methods: 40 anterior crowns were milled from five CAD/CAM blocks divided into five groups (n = 8/group).
