Background/purpose: The glide path instruments are the introductory instruments into the canals; thus, they should be durable enough to withstand torsional stress/screw-in force. This study aimed to investigate the torque and screw-in force of TruNatomy Glider (TN), ProGLIDER (PG), Hyflex EDM (EDM) and Dent Craft RE (RE) glide path instruments in single- and double-curved canals.
Materials And Methods: Each instrument brand was divided into two groups (n = 7 each) according to the canal configuration. Torque and screw-in force were recorded during automated instrumentation of simulated resin canals with XSmart IQ cordless motor after the canal patency was checked with a #10 K-file. The values were statistically analyzed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test followed by the Kruskal Wallis test and the Mann-Whitney test with Bonferroni correction ( = 0.05).
Results: TN produced significantly higher torque than RE in single-curved canals and PG in double-curved canals ( 0.05). EDM yielded significantly higher screw-in force than TN and RE in single-curved canals ( 0.05), but there was no significant difference in double-curved canals ( > 0.05). A significant effect of different canal configurations was only detected for screw-in force in EDM ( < 0.05).
Conclusion: TN in single-curved canals and RE in double-curved canals yielded higher torque values, while EDM exhibited greater screw-in force in both canal configurations. No effect of different canal configurations was detected for torque, but a significant impact was detected for screw-in force in EDM.

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.

Introduction Spinal fusion surgery with pedicle screws is commonly performed to stabilize the spine of osteoporotic patients. However, securing a strong screw fixation in osteoporotic bone presents significant challenges due to the reduced bone density. This study aimed to compare the biomechanical performance in an osteoporotic bone model of pedicle screws inserted using two different techniques, the Jamshidi needle technique and the pedicle probe technique, as well as the influence of tapping on both these techniques.

Background: The screw-in effect is a tendency of a nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary endodontic file to be pulled into the canal, which can result in a sudden increase in stress leading to instrument fracture, and over-instrumentation beyond the apex. To reduce screw-in force, repeated up-and-down movements are recommended to distribute flexural stress during instrumentation, especially in curved and constricted canals. However, there is no consensus on the optimal number of repetitions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical effects of four different designs of frog appliances for molar distalization using finite element analysis.
Methods: A three-dimensional finite element model including complete dentition, periodontal ligament, palatine, and alveolar bone was established. Four types of frog appliances were designed to simulate maxillary molar distalization: tooth-button-borne (Type A), bone-borne (Type B), bone-button-borne (Type C), and tooth-bone-borne (Type D) frog appliances.

Objective: The main purpose of this study was to explore the mechanical properties of the anterior cruciate ligament and its attachments following reconstruction with the all-inside technique after anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Methods: Knee joint computed tomography data were collected from healthy volunteers, and knee joint models were created using Mimics software. A normal knee joint model, an all-inside reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament model, and a traditional reconstructed anterior cruciate ligament model were established.
