This study evaluated the impact of canal irrigation using surfactants associated to NaOCl on the percentage of voids of root canal filling through micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) analysis. 27 mandibular mesial roots with Vertucci type II canal configuration with isthmus were selected and scanned in a micro-CT device. The specimens were assigned to three groups (n = 9), according to the irrigation solution during instrumentation: 2.5% NaOCl without additives (control), 2.5% NaOCl with 0.1% Benzalkonium Chloride and 2.5% NaOCl with 0.1% Tween 80. After obturation, the specimens were rescanned, and the percentage of voids were calculated. Data were analysed using one-way ANOVA with a significance level of 5%. The percentage of voids were similar among the groups (p > 0.05). None of the specimens showed completely voids-free areas. The addition of surfactants to NaOCl irrigation did not improve the quality of root canal filling of mandibular mesial root canals.

The title mol-ecule, CHBrNO, adopts a cup shaped conformation with the distinctly ruffled imidazolidine ring as the base. In the crystal, weak C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds and C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions form helical chains of mol-ecules extending along the -axis direction that are linked by additional weak C-H⋯π(ring) inter-actions across inversion centres. The Hirshfeld surface analysis of the crystal structure indicates that the most important contributions for the crystal packing are from H⋯H (51.

This study evaluated the bond strength (BS) of conventional, anatomized, adjustable, and CAD/CAM fiberglass post systems. Forty maxillary canine roots were weakened, endodontically treated, and divided into four groups (n=10). A slice from each of the three sections (cervical, middle, apical) of the root canal was subjected to the push-out test and the failure pattern was subsequently analyzed.

This research presents an experimental analysis of the mechanical behavior of masonry mortars incorporating disposable face masks (FMs) cut into two different sizes. The objective is to provide experimental data contributing to the consolidation of recycling FMs in mortar mixtures. To achieve this, two types of mixtures were prepared: one with strips of 3 × 3 mm and another with strips of 3 × 10 mm.

Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the effectiveness of two external urine collection devices in capturing urine from morbidly obese and non-obese men over two separate bathroom visits.
- The researchers found that Device A had a higher average urine capture rate (approximately 98%) compared to Device B (around 91%) in both groups of men.
- Overall, Device A proved to be a more efficient option for urine management, benefiting both obese and non-obese individuals.
Harnessing CuO-Doped 4--Butylpyridine in Spiro-OMeTAD: Study on Improved Performance and Longevity of Perovskite Solar Cells.

Recently, spiro-OMeTAD has gained prominence as a hole-transporting material (HTM) in high-performance perovskite solar cells (PSCs) due to its superior properties, cutting-edge HOMO state of energy, and solution processability. To promote hole mobility and conductivity, hygroscopic dopants and additives such as lithium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide (Li-TFSI) and 4--butylpyridine (TBP) are typically incorporated. However, these components can lead to aggregation and hydrolysis in ambient conditions, forming pinholes and voids in the films.
