A study was conducted to evaluate the success rates of bypassing or removing fragments of instruments that had fractured within the roots of mandibular molars using a HBW Ultrasonic Ring. Forty extracted first permanent mandibular molars with root canal curvature were included. The teeth were distributed randomly into four groups according to the type of instrument and the root canal third where they had fractured. The success rate for removal of instrument fragments was 100% for both of two stainless steel groups, 90% for a nitinol middle third group, and 80% for a nitinol apical third group. The mean time required for instrument removal was around 40 min. The HBW Ultrasonic Ring showed acceptable experimental results for retrieval of broken instrument fragments.

Department of Operative Dentistry, Endodontics and Dental Materials, Bauru School of Dentistry, University of São Paulo - USP, Bauru, SP, Brazil.
Objectives: This study evaluated the impact of different methods of irrigant agitation on smear layer removal in the apical third of curved mesial canals of 3 dimensionally (D) printed mandibular molars.
Materials And Methods: Sixty 3D-printed mandibular second molars were used, presenting a 70° curvature and a Vertucci type II configuration in the mesial root. A round cavity was cut 2 mm from the apex using a trephine of 2 mm in diameter, 60 bovine dentin disks were made, and a smear layer was formed.
The Effect of Birth Weight on Fattening Performance, Meat Quality, and Muscle Fibre Characteristics in Lambs of the Karayaka Native Breed.

This investigation aimed to assess the influence of birth weight on post-weaning fattening performance, meat quality, muscle fibre characteristics, and carcass traits in Karayaka lambs. The study categorized the lambs into three distinct groups based on birth weight: low birth weight (LBW), medium birth weight (MBW), and high birth weight (HBW). Throughout the fattening phase, the lambs were given access to food and water, culminating in the slaughter at the end of the study.

Two patients were admitted to the dental clinic to evaluate two right mandibular first molars (both FDI no. 46). In Case 1, there was an accidental instrument separation, which was thought to have been bypassed; however, the instrument was located beyond the apical foramen, in the alveolar bone.
