Background: Residual root dentin thickness (RDT) in endodontically treated teeth is a major factor that is responsible for longevity of treated tooth.
Aims And Objectives: To evaluate and compare the amount of RDT during endodontic treatment using manual K-files and rotary Mtwo, ProTaper Next, and Hero shaper instruments.
Settings And Design: Anin vitro study was carried out on a sample of 100 freshly extracted human single straight rooted mandibular first premolar teeth.
Methodology: The teeth were divided into five groups of twenty each and mounted on wax rims for a preoperative cone beam computed tomography scan to calculate the dentin thickness 3 and 6 mm from the apex. All the teeth were treated according to their groups.
Statistical Analysis: The observations were then statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA to evaluate the difference among four groups followed by post hoc test for pairwise comparison.
Results: Maximum preservation of dentin was seen in Group V (cleaning and shaping done with rotary Hero shaper files) at 3 and 6 mm from the apex, whereas minimum preservation of dentin was seen in Group IV at 3 mm (cleaning and shaping done with rotary ProTaper Next files) and Group II at 6 mm (cleaning and shaping done with hand K-stainless steel files) from the apex. Overall there was a statistically significant difference in RDT values between Group V and Groups I, II, III, IV both at 3 and 6 mm from the apex.
Conclusion: Cleaning and shaping with rotary Hero shaper files preserved more amount of dentin when compared to hand K-files, rotary Mtwo, ProTaper Next.

Under the environment of energy transformation in the world, underground coal gasification (UCG) is an important means to realize the green and clean development and utilization of deep coal resources. Due to a series of complex chemical reactions, the porosity and permeability of coal have changed significantly. Accurately characterizing the porosity and permeability of gasified coal is of great significance to the field screening, production control, and numerical simulation of the UCG project.

Archaeological coins are considered essential sources of historical documentation. Over time, they are subjected to corrosion processes that gradually alter their appearance, shape, and composition. This study aims to evaluate the effects of the patina and/or protective coating on the corrosion process.

Epipremnum aureum, sometimes known as the Money Plant, is a popular houseplant known for its hearts-shaped leaves and durability. Commonly referred to as Golden Pothos or Devil's Ivy, it is also appreciated for its ornamental value and air cleaning ability. They say that these plants are attractive to many people owing to their tolerance to several conditions and easy care, therefore, it is no surprise that they are found in many households and workplaces.

A Scanning Photoelectron Microscopy (SPEM) experiment has been applied to ZnO:N films deposited by Atomic Layer Deposition (ALD) under O-rich conditions and post-growth annealed in oxygen at 800 °C. spatial resolution (130 nm) allows for probing the electronic structure of single column of growth. The samples were cleaved under ultra-high vacuum (UHV) conditions to open atomically clean cross-sectional areas for SPEM experiment.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the apical microleakage of zinc oxide (ZOE) eugenol and Endoflas as obturating materials using different root canal irrigants in primary teeth.
Materials And Methods: A total of 80 extracted primary anterior teeth were divided randomly into four groups with different irrigants and obturating materials used. Group I [ZOE + sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl)], group II [ZOE + NaOCI + ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA)], group III (Endoflas FS + NaOCI), group IV (Endoflas FS + NaOCI + EDTA).
