Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the temperature rise on the external root surface during gutta-percha removal with 2 types of ultrasonic tips, and its relationship with the root dentin thickness.
Methods: A total of 56 single-rooted teeth were prepared for gutta-percha removal procedures, conducted for 40 seconds using 2 types of ultrasonic tips at depths of 6 mm and 11 mm. The temperature generated was measured using a type K thermocouple at 3 measurement points. Nonparametric Wilcoxon test was used, and the correlation between thickness and temperature rise was evaluated with Spearman correlation test.
Results: The temperature rise occurred in all groups, reaching maximum values of 21.0°C (mean = 14.6) with Clearsonic and 11.3°C (mean = 4.2) in the Clearsonic Black group, recorded at a 1-mm depth at 40 seconds (P < .05). At 20 seconds, the Clearsonic produced an increase ranging from 10.5°C and 12.9°C in 25% of teeth. No significant differences were observed between the 2 types of ultrasonic tips at an 11-mm depth, across all time intervals and measurement points. Spearman's coefficient showed significant correlations with Clearsonic use at 20 seconds. Significant correlations with Clearsonic Black were observed at 20 and 40 seconds at point T1.
Conclusions: The Clearsonic Black generates a smaller temperature increase at a depth of 6 mm compared to the Clearsonic and within a time not exceeding 20 seconds (P < .05). There is a partial correlation between temperature increase and dentin thickness.

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 micro-CT. 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).
Quantitative Assessment of Apically Extruded Debris During Retreatment Procedures Using Three Nickel-Titanium Rotary Systems: An In Vitro Comparative Study.

: Apical extrusion of debris can affect the success of endodontic treatments, and the specific performance of certain retreatment systems has not been studied yet. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study was to quantitatively assess the amount of apically extruded debris produced during retreatment procedures using three rotary NiTi retreatment systems in mature non-resorbed straight roots. : Thirty extracted permanent human teeth with single straight roots were selected.

Purpose: This study was aimed to compare the difference between iRoot SP and AH Plus on root canal sealing ability for teeth extracted due to severe periodontitis and explore whether the dentin tubule pathway plays an important role in the development of endodontic-periodontic lesions(EPL), in order to provide a theoretical basis for selection of proper time for root canal therapy and suitable root canal sealants in patients with EPL.
Methods: Fifty single-root anterior teeth extracted due to severe periodontitis were selected. The roots were completely debrided to remove the calculus, dental plaque and cementum.

Background: This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effect of intracanal cryotherapy with 2-4 °C normal saline irrigation on post-operative pain after single-visit non-surgical root canal retreatment.
Methods: Forty-six single-rooted, single-canal teeth requiring non-surgical root canal retreatment were randomly assigned to two groups (n = 23): a cryotherapy group and a control group. All the treatments were completed during a single visit.
