Article Abstract
Background: This study assessed stress distributions in simulated mandibular molars filled with various materials after the removal of fractured instruments from the apical thirds of the root canals.
Methods: Finite element models of the mesial and distal root canals were created, where fractured instruments were assumed to be removed using a staging platform established with a modified Gates-Glidden bur (Woodpecker, Guangxi, P.R. China). Each canal was treated with different materials: Biodentine (Septodont, Saint Maur-des-Fosses, France), mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA), and gutta-percha. In addition to these, four control models were also created. In total, 14 models were generated and subjected to a 300 N force applied at a 45° angle to simulate the stress.
Results: Model 1 (Biodentine) and 2 (Gutta-percha + Biodentine) showed the lowest stresses among mesial root canal models, whereas Model 5 (Gutta-percha) showed the highest. Among distal root canal models, Model 6 (Biodentine) and 7 (Gutta-percha + Biodentine) showed the lowest stresses, while Model 10 (Gutta-percha) showed the highest. In addition, Biodentine (Septodont) and Gutta-percha + Biodentine (Septodont) produced similar stress levels in both mesial and distal roots, while MTA and Gutta-percha + MTA led to increased stresses, especially in the distal root. Among the control models, the highest maximum von Mises stress values were in Model 13 and Model 14, which had a staging platform and were not filled with any root canal filling material, after the broken instrument was removed.
Conclusions: Biodentine (Septodont) may be preferable to MTA for filling staging platform cavities post-fractured instrument removal due to lower stress levels. Furthermore, calcium silicate-based materials alone or in combination with Gutta-percha showed similar stress levels, suggesting their potential use for root canal filling. All models demonstrated structural integrity within safe limits.

Background: Equine odontoclastic tooth resorption and hypercementosis (EOTRH) is a painful disorder primarily affecting the incisor teeth of horses over 15 years of age. Clinical signs of the disease include prehension problems, halitosis and in severe cases weight loss. The disease predominately affects the reserve crown and presents as a loss of dental tissue and excessive build-up of cementum.

BACKGROUND Different temperature conditions can affect the efficiency of irrigation solutions and consequently the ability of canal sealers to bond to root canal walls. The aim of this endodontic study was to evaluate the effect of irrigation solutions at different temperatures on the bond strength of a bioceramic-based root canal sealer. MATERIAL AND METHODS Root canal preparations were completed through irrigation with the following solutions: Group 1 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl (sodium hypochlorite) +5 ml EDTA (Ethylenediamine tetra-acetic acid) (22°C); Group 2 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml EDTA (37°C); Group 3 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml GA (Glycolic acid) (22°C); Group 4 was irrigated with 5 ml NaOCl +5 ml GA (37°C), Group 5 was irrigated with 20 ml Dual Rinse® HEDP (Etidronate) - NaOCl mixture (22°C); and Group 6 was irrigated with 20 ml of Dual Rinse® HEDP mixture (37°C).

Objectives: Apical periodontitis (AP) is an inflammatory immune response in periapical tissues caused by microbial infections. Failure of root canal treatment or delayed healing is often due to intracanal or extra-radicular bacteria. However, beyond microbial factors, the patient's systemic health can significantly influence the progression and healing of AP.
