Objective(s): To compare the amount of apical debris extruded during endodontic retreatment procedures performed using H files, R-Endo Retreatment GPR files and ProTaper Universal files.
 Materials Methods: The conventional coronal access cavity was prepared for 40 extracted Mandibular Premolars. root canals were with Next Rotary till X1. Obturation done by combination Lateral Vertical Com...

Root canal treatment encompasses thorough cleaning and shaping of the canal. Cleaning is achieved through proper instrumentation and irrigation for debridement and dis­ infection of the root canal system in addition to creating a suitable shape for complete three dimensional obtura­ tion. Various irrigants and medicaments have been used for cleaning root canals with different results. These in­...

hot-melt extrusion is one of the most widely applied processing technologies in the plastic, rubber and food industry. today this technology has found its place in the array of pharmaceutical manufacturing operations. melt extrusion process are currently applied in the pharmaceutical field for the manufacture of a variety of dosage forms and formulations such as granules, pellets, tablets, supp...

Advances in endodontics have enabled the evolution of file manufacturing processes, improving performance beyond that of conventional files. In the present study, systems manufactured using state of the art methods and possessing special properties related to NiTi alloys (i.e., CM-Wire, M-Wire and R-Phase) were selected. The aim of this review was to provide a detailed analysis of the literatur...

Aim: The aim of this ex vivo study was to compare the amount debris extruded during retreatment using stainless steel hand files (Hedstroem files) and R-Endo Nickel Titanium rotary instruments. Methodology: Eighty single-rooted freshly extracted human mandibular premolars were divided into two groups consisting 40 teeth each. Retreatment performed with (Micro-Mega, Besançon, France) Hedstroem (...
