The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bond strength (BS) of root canal fillings to root dentin using the reciprocating file-matched single-cone or lateral compaction techniques with resin-based and calcium-silicate-based sealers. Maxillary canine roots were prepared and filled using one of the following approaches: Reciproc R40 file and R40 single cone, WaveOne Large file and Large s...

BACKGROUND Little is known about the differences of rotary multiple file endodontic therapy and single-file reciprocating endodontic treatment under routine care conditions in dental practice. This multicenter study was performed to compare the outcome of multiple-file (MF) and single-file (SF) systems for primary root canal treatment under conditions of general dental practice regarding reduct...

Many software tools are used to simulate compressor performance and pressure pulsations in piping systems. Designers of reciprocating equipment rely on these tools to accurately simulate gas properties and pressure pulsations for specialty gases. Two case studies on reciprocating compressors, involving ethane and ethylene, outline the root causes and consequences of inaccurate performance and p...
