Introduction: The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the remaining root canal filling material, apical transportation, and crack formation after retreatment with M-Wire Reciproc (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany) and Reciproc Blue (VDW GmbH) systems in curved root canals.
Methods: Twenty-six mandibular first and second molars with mesial roots that had 2 separate canals with angles between 20° and 40° were selected for this study. The root canals were prepared with M-Wire Reciproc size 25 instruments (VDW GmbH), and they were filled with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer (Dentsply Sirona, Tulsa, OK). The samples were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 13 each) according to the retreatment system used: an M-Wire Reciproc group and a Reciproc Blue group. The canals were retreated up to instrument size 25 and then to size 40 in both groups. After the retreatment procedures, the residual filling material volume, apical transportation, and crack formation were assessed using micro-computed tomographic imaging.
Results: There were no significant differences between the groups in the amount of residual filling material (P > .05). The apical canal transportation values were significantly higher in the M-Wire Reciproc group than in the Reciproc Blue group at 1 mm. No significant differences were observed between the groups at any of the other levels with regard to apical transportation (P > .05) The new uncompleted and completed cracks were observed in both groups. There were no statistically significant differences between the groups in terms of crack and fracture formation (P > .05).
Conclusions: The Reciproc Blue system is as effective as the M-Wire Reciproc system in terms of the retreatment of the curved mesial roots of mandibular molars. However, the formation of new uncompleted and completed cracks was found during the retreatment procedures.

The scales of the gold-dust weevil are green because of three-dimensional diamond-type chitin-air photonic crystals with an average periodicity of about 430 nm and a chitin fill fraction of about 0.44. A single scale usually contains one to three crystallites with different lattice orientations.

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate the mechanical properties of Reciproc, Reciproc Blue, One RECI, and R-Motion, specifically focusing on their flexibility and buckling resistance and to assess their torsional fatigue behavior under 2 different reciprocation angles (150°/30° or 70°/30°).
Methods: A total of 160 instruments (40 per brand) were tested. Flexion and buckling tests were conducted using a Universal testing machine (DL 200 MF).

Introduction: This study aimed to evaluate, using microcomputed tomography, the impact of various mechanized systems on the geometry of the root canal system and dentin thickness in mandibular first molars. The hypothesis proposed that different systems would produce significant variations in root canal system preparation.
Methods: Mesial and distal canals of mandibular molars were selected and divided into 5 groups (n = 10) based on the system used: 2Shape (25.

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.

This study investigates the temperature changes on the external root surface during root canal preparation using different rotary systems and assesses the impact of irrigation temperatures. Sixty extracted human maxillary incisors were divided into four groups based on the rotary system used: ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), Reciproc Blue (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany), WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and TruNatomy (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland). These systems differ in cutting efficiency and design.
