Objectives: Ideal root canal shaping might be more challenging particularly in cases with severely curved canals or complex anatomical variations. Glide path preparation is suggested as a critical step to achieve ideal canal preparation. The present study is aimed at evaluating transportation at different levels of the canal following glide path preparation by five different path finders.
Materials And Methods: The study was conducted on 100 S-shaped canal simulator blocks. Glide path was prepared in five groups including (1) Scout RaCe (10 and 15, 0.02), (2) One G (14, 0.03), (3) PathFile (13 and 16, 0.02), (4) GPS (15, 0.03), and (5) K file (15, 0.02) (Control group). The first four groups were NiTi rotary instruments, while the last group was a stainless steel hand file. The aforementioned files were used after canal negotiation by a 10 stainless steel hand file. Before- and after-preparation photos were taken and were superimposed in Adobe PhotoShop CC 2019. Transportation measurements were conducted in Digimizer. Absolute canal transportation was calculated at 10 cross-sections. Intergroup and intragroup data analysis were conducted using one-way and repeated measures ANOVA tests, respectively, in SPSS 26.0. The significance level was set to 0.05.
Results: Although K file led to significantly more transportation in the apical and middle thirds ( < 0.001), rotary groups were not statistically different. In the coronal third, K files led to significantly more transportation compared to Scout RaCe and PathFile ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of the present study, regardless of the recruited rotary system, glide path preparation using NiTi rotary instruments leads to less canal transportation compared to stainless steel hand files.

Background: This study aims to compare design, phase transformation behavior, and torsional resistance of the ProGlider (PG) and ProTaper ultimate slider (PUS) and to compare the performance of two files in the glide-path preparation of a double-curved artificial canal.
Methods: Scanning electron microscopy, micro-computed tomography, and differential scanning calorimetry were used to characterize the samples. A torsional resistance test was performed to obtain ultimate strength and distortion angle.

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.

Article Synopsis
- - The RBCC engine is a promising propulsion system for launching vehicles into orbit, but maintaining efficient combustion during mode transitions is challenging due to low incoming flow temperatures.
- - New research proposes using plasma combustion support to enhance RBCC engine performance during these mode transitions, particularly from ejector/ramjet to ramjet/scramjet modes.
- - Numerical simulations indicate that adding arc plasma increases heat release and thrust while reducing aerodynamic drag during transitions, and it also stabilizes thrust fluctuations and decreases transition times at high Mach numbers.

Aim The aim of the present study was to evaluate the in vitro comparative assessment of root canal centering ratio and canal transportation associated with ProTaper Universal (PTU) (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), ProTaper Next (PTN) (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and ProTaper Gold (PTG) (Dentsply Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA) rotary file systems, with or without glide-path preparation, using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) analysis. Materials and methods A total of 120 mesial roots of extracted human mandibular first molar teeth were collected and randomly divided into three groups (n = 40) depending on the type of rotary file system used for mesiobuccal root canal instrumentation: Group 1: PTU, Group 2: PTN, and Group 3: PTG rotary file systems. Each group was further divided into two Sub-groups (a and b) with 20 specimens, depending on whether glide-path preparation was performed using the ProGlider (PG) file (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland).
