The aim of the study was to evaluate the adhesive forces for removing iatrogenically fractured endodontic nickel-titanium instruments using a modified tube technique with various pre-treatment agents in combination with a light-curing composite. 120 Nickel-Titanium-Mtwo instruments were cut at its parallel shaft and fixed in a vise with an overlap of 2 mm. The surfaces were treated with different agents: A) GC Metalprimer; B) Prime and Bond active; C) NaOCl (3%); D) citric acid (15%); E) phosphoric acid (37%) and group (F) was not pretreated (control). One end of a matching microtube, filled with light-curing composite, was placed over the instrument and a transmitting glass fiber inserted from the opposite side guaranteed polymerization. Pull-out tests (1 mm/min) were performed and failure load was measured digitally. Data were statistically analyzed using the ANOVA and Student-Newman-Keuls tests. Interfaces were subjected to SEM analysis. Prime and Bond active created significant higher pull-out values (mean 30.5 N) compared to all other groups ( < 0.001) and Metalprimer (18.5 N) was significantly superior to the untreated (12.6 N) and NaOCl (11.7 N) group ( < 0.05). No significant differences were obtained between the other groups ( > 0.05). Thus, adhesives improved bonding to fractured NiTi instruments.

Objective: This study compared the fracture load, stress distribution, and survival probability under cyclic loading of extensively restored teeth treated with multisonic irrigation with those treated with conventional instrumentation, with or without a post.
Methods: Mesial-occlusal-distal cavities were prepared in 30 human mandibular premolars. The teeth were randomly divided into 3 groups of 10 based on the endodontic and restorative procedures: (1) Root canal treatment (RCT) followed by resin composite restoration (control group), (2) RCT followed by a glass fiber post restoration (conventional group), and (3) minimal instrumentation plus multisonic irrigation followed by resin composite restoration (GW group).

Background: The fracture of an endodontic instrument within the root canal system can occur during root canal therapy, complicating thorough cleaning and shaping. Consequently, managing the broken fragment becomes crucial.
Methods: Eighty Nickel-titanium (NiTi) #20 K-files (Mani, Tochigi, Japan) were cut 8 mm from the tip, fixed into a corkboard, and classified into five groups (n = 14 each).

Background: Endodontic file fractures are common complications of root canal treatment, and requires removal via specialized techniques such as endodontic microsurgery when the file beyond the apical foramen. It is often challenging to precisely and minimally remove a fractured file. Recently the use of dental autonomous robotic system (ATR) has shown promise in precisely and minimally in dental surgery.

Background: Immature maxillary central teeth can be managed by using several treatment options. The aim of this finite element stress analysis study was to evaluate the effect of different treatment procedures on the stresses on immature maxillary incisor teeth models that generated on cone beam computed tomography, by trauma and bite forces.
Methods: A total of 11 different models consisting of revascularization treatment using MTA and biodentine and the state of the root apex formed with cement after treatment, apexification, modified apexification, traditional root canal treatment and two different control groups have been created.
