The present study aims to evaluate the effect of different glide path instruments on the cyclic fatigue resistance of reciprocating endodontic instruments after three uses in mandibular molars. Eighteen Wave One Gold Primary reciprocating instruments were selected and randomly divided into three groups according to the glide path instrument: G1 - manual file K #15, G2 - Wave One Glider reciprocating instrument, and G3 (control group) - glide path was not performed. The reciprocating instruments were tested on mandibular molars and subdivided into three other groups: a new instrument, an instrument with a previous single-use, and an instrument with two previous uses. After the endodontic instrumentation, the instruments were subjected to the cyclic fatigue resistance test using an appropriate tool. The data were submitted to the Shapiro-Wilk test, and subsequently the Kruskal-Wallis test with a significance level of 5%. The results showed no statistical difference between the groups. Thus, it was concluded that the creation of a glide path did not affect the cyclic fatigue resistance of the reciprocating instrument. In addition, the reuse of final preparation instruments up to two times proved to be safe since no fractures were observed in the tested instruments.

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).

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates how the experience level of operators affects the quality and success of root canal treatments using new nickel-titanium instruments, highlighting the need for improvement in clinical practices.
- Data was collected from 277 cases performed by residents (1-3 years of experience) and specialists (5-7 years of experience), comparing complication rates, filling quality, and overall success rates.
- Results showed that residents had a higher incidence of flare-ups and lower rates of satisfactory fillings compared to specialists, but both groups had similar overall success rates, suggesting that operator experience significantly influences treatment quality but not necessarily the ultimate success of the procedure.
