Objective: We evaluated the effect of brushing motion on microcrack formation in round distal canals after using multi-file rotary(MFR), single-file rotary(SFR), and single-file reciprocation(SFRc) systems via micro-computed tomography(micro-CT).
Materials And Methods: Thirty-six mandibular molars were used. Samples were allocated according to files and preparation patterns (n = 12); pecking (P) and brushing (B): Group-MFR-P, Group-MFR-B, Group-SFRc-P, Group-SFRc-B, Group-SFR-P, Group-SFR-B. MFR was ProTaper Next, SFR was TruNatomy, and SFRc was WaveOne Gold. Mesial and distal were prepared using pecking motion, and additional brushing motion. Brushing motions were performed after the pecking motions with 6 strokes. Pre-and-post-instrumentation scans were obtained. Wilcoxon, Krukal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney-U were performed.
Results: No differences were between pre-and-post-instrumentation scans (p > 0.05). Post-instrumentation microcracks were not different in Group MFR-P and Group MFR-B, Group SFRc-P and Group SFRc-B, Group SFR-P and Group SFR-B (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The brushing motion followed by the pecking motion did not cause microcracks. None of the file systems examined in the study induced microcracks.

Characterizing sliding and rolling contacts between single particles.

Contacts between particles in dense, sheared suspensions are believed to underpin much of their rheology. Roughness and adhesion are known to constrain the relative motion of particles, and thus globally affect the shear response, but an experimental description of how they microscopically influence the transmission of forces and relative displacements within contacts is lacking. Here, we show that an innovative colloidal-probe atomic force microscopy technique allows the simultaneous measurement of normal and tangential forces exchanged between tailored surfaces and microparticles while tracking their relative sliding and rolling, unlocking the direct measurement of coefficients of rolling friction, as well as of sliding friction.

Article Synopsis
- Multimodal sensing using soft body dynamics is essential for controlling soft robotic movements, particularly through the imitation of whisker dynamics.
- The study introduces a multitasking electronic brush (e-brush) featuring four integrated pressure sensors capable of monitoring motion parameters like speed, force, slip, and surface interactions with low pressure sensitivity.
- A reservoir computing algorithm is employed to accurately extract and analyze these motion parameters, successfully demonstrating the brush's ability to track handwriting movements as a proof of concept.
Amphibious Soft Robots Based on Programmable Actuators Fabricated by Brushing Chinese Ink on Paper.

Soft robots based on actuators that can work in both on-ground and on-water situations are environmentally adaptable and can accomplish tasks in complex environments. However, most current amphibious actuators need external stimuli to move on water and require complex preparation processes. Herein, amphibious Ink-paper/polyethylene programmable actuators and robots are proposed, which are fabricated by rapidly brushing Chinese ink on paper.
