Aim: To assess the canal transportation and centering ability in the mandibular first molars' curved mesiobuccal canals after instrumentation with file systems XP endo Shaper, self-adjusting File (SAF), Hyflex EDM, Pro Taper NEXT, WaveOne Gold, and K files with the help of Cone-Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT).
Materials And Methods: Ninety recently extracted mandibular first molars with mesiobuccal roots that had a 25-30 degree canal curvature were assessed. Following preoperative CBCT scans, teeth were allocated randomly to six experimental groups of fifteen. After preparation with XP endo Shaper, SAF, Hyflex EDM, Pro Taper Next, WaveOne Gold, and K files, post-instrumentation scans were taken using same parameters as pre operative scans. At 3 mm, 6 mm, and 9 mm from the apex, samples were assessed for canal transportation and centering ratio.
Results: Apical transportation was least for XP endo Shaper as compared to other groups except SAF and the results were statistically significant. K file showed the highest apical transportation toward the lateral wall of the root canal. XP endo Shaper was better in maintaining centering ability of middle and apical third of canal and SAF was better in maintaining centering ability of coronal third.
Conclusion: In root canal preparation, least apical transportation and better centering ability with XP endo Shaper than other file systems compared. K file showed the highest transportation.

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.

Neurotechnological cognitive enhancement has become an area of intense scientific, policy, and ethical interest. However, while work has increasingly focused on ethical views of the general public, less studied are those with personal connections to cognitive impairment. Using a mixed-methods design, we surveyed attitudes regarding implantable neurotechnological cognitive enhancement in individuals who self-identified as having increased likelihood of developing dementia (n=25; 'Our Study'), compared to a nationally representative sample of Americans (n=4726; 'Pew Study').

The preservation of the original configurations of root canals during endodontic preparation is crucial for treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary systems have been refined to optimize canal shaping while minimizing iatrogenic errors. This study aimed to evaluate and compare the shaping efficacy of the novel R-Motion (RM) and the established WaveOne Gold (WG) systems using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).

BACKGROUND This cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) endodontics study aimed to compare the canal-centering ability and canal transportation of Edgefile X7 and HyFlex EDM files in moderately curved mesiobuccal (MB) root canals of 30 mandibular first permanent molar teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty permanent mandibular first molars with 10° and 24° of mesial root curvature were selected and scanned with CBCT. Two experimental groups of 15 each were made: group I: HyFlex EDM, and group II: Edgefile X7.

Introduction: This study aimed to assess the effect of cavity designs on instrumentation, obturation and fracture resistance for mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal.
Methods: Mandibular first premolars with Vertucci V canal were scanned with microcomputed tomography. A total of 20 teeth with moderately curved canal were prepared with conservative endodontic cavity (CEC/M) or traditional endodontic cavity (TEC/M), and 30 with severely curved canal were prepared with CEC (CEC/S), modified CEC (MCEC/S) or TEC (TEC/S).
