Background: For placement of intraradicular posts the intracanal filling material has to be removed. If drills are employed for this purpose, extra widening of the canal, incomplete cracks or root perforation are probable when inappropriate size of drill is used.
Objective: This in vitro study assessed the efficacy of radiographs taken after completion of root canal therapy in selecting the appropriate-sized Peeso reamer for post space preparation.
Methods: Canals of 53 extracted maxillary and mandibular teeth of different types were cleaned and shaped. Then with acrylic resin 3-dimensional model of the intracanal space of each tooth was fabricated. Next, all canals were filled with gutta-percha and teeth were radiographed buccolingually. Based on these radiographs two observers selected a Peeso reamer that best matched each canal's diameter. The diameter of the selected Peeso reamer was compared to the diameter of the corresponding resin model of each canal by two independent observers and the difference was measured. The data were analyzed by paired sample t-test using SPSS version 22.
Results: The diameter of the selected Peeso reamers ranged from 0.21 mm smaller to 0.12 mm larger than the diameter of intracanal spaces. The difference between reamer and resin model was less than 0.1 mm in 75% of the cases.
Conclusion: The result of this study suggests that post-operation endodontic radiographs are reliable means for selecting a size of Peeso reamer that does not encroach on dentinal wall during removal of intracanal filling material and post space preparation.

Background: This study evaluates the fracture resistance of apical plugs created from Biodentine and mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) in thicknesses of 3 and 5 mm within simulated open apex tooth models.
Methods: Fifty human maxillary central incisors were obtained from a pool of freshly extracted teeth. In order to replicate open apices without cavity preparation, ten teeth in the control group received apical-to-coronal preparation with Peeso reamers.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the 1-day fracture resistance of simulated immature teeth with an apical plug with ProRoot MTA, MTA Angelus, and RetroMTA after calcium hydroxide intracanal medication.
Materials And Methods: Sixty extracted, single-rooted human mandibular premolars were randomly divided into six groups of 10 teeth each. Firstly, to standardize the 9 mm root length, the crowns were cut off at and 9 mm below the cementoenamel junction transversely.

Background: This study aimed to evaluate the removal efficiency of different capping materials used in pulp revascularization (PR) in a failure scenario.
Methods: The apices of freshly extracted 30 maxillary incisors were cut to mimic the immature teeth; then, root canals were shaped up to #6 Peeso reamers. The regeneration steps of the American Association of Endodontists (AAE) were followed to simulate PR treatment in vitro.
Assessment of the Push-Out Bond Strength for Glass Fiber Posts After Different Surface Treatments: An In Vitro Study.

Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, SJM Dental College and Hospital, Karnataka, IND.
Aim: The goal of the study was to assess the push-out bond strength of the glass fibre post after different surface treatments.
Materials And Methods: For the purpose of the investigation, 40 mandibular premolars were chosen. After gaining access, the biomechanical preparation was completed using the step-back approach up to a size 40K file, and the canals were sealed using gutta-percha cones and the lateral condensation procedure with AH Plus sealer (epoxide-amine resin pulp canal sealer).
