OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the shaping ability of newly marketed single-file instruments, Wave·One (Dentsply-Maillefer) and Reciproc (VDW GmbH), in terms of maintaining the original root canal configuration and curvature, with or without a glide-path. MATERIALS AND METHODS According to the instruments used, the blocks were divided into 4 groups (n = 10): Group 1, no glid...

AIM To measure optic nerve sheath diameters (ONSD) in different locations by computer tomography (CT) and to recommend the best location for cases when ONSD is used for intracranial pressure monitoring. METHODS In a prospective cohort study, CT data of 300 healthy adults were analyzed (600 eyes). In all cases, the CT investigation was performed at the Emergency Department because of the vario...

A data reconciliation module, based on the measurements from the hydraulic network, has been recently developed and implemented in the supervisory system of the Société du Canal de Provence SCP . The software has initially been used daily to check the measured flow on the main canal. The data reconciliation occurs just after the measurement process. The measurement network on the hydraulic syst...

OBJECTIVES During root canal preparation, apical extrusion of debris can cause inflammation, flare-ups, and delayed healing. Therefore, instrumentation techniques that cause the least extrusion of debris are desirable. This study aimed to compare apical extrusion of debris by five single-file, full-sequence rotary and reciprocating systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred twenty human mandi...

objectives: this study aimed to assess and compare the apical sealing ability of herofill® soft-core system and lateral condensation technique in fine curved canals using the fluid filtration method. materials and methods: forty human mesiobuccal root canals of mandibular first molars with 25° to 40° curvatures were instrumented to an apical size 30/0.04. roots were randomly assigned to two exp...

BACKGROUND Medial malleolar fractures are frequent, and their treatment is familiar to the orthopedic surgeon. Lag screw fixation using partially threaded screws remains the standard treatment method for medial malleolar fractures. However, the literature lacks a defined method for selecting lag screw length, relying more so on the empiric choice of the surgeon. AIM The aim of this study is t...
