This report introduces a novel technique that allows a safe and predictable canal negotiation, creation of a glide path and canal preparation with reciprocating nickel-titanium or stainless steel engine-driven instruments in canals where the use of rotary and the newly developed reciprocating instruments is contraindicated. In this novel technique, the instruments are used in reciprocating moti...

The performance of two long term replacements R-407C (HFC-32/125/134a (23%/25%/52%)) and R-410A (HFC-32/125 (50%/50%)) was compared to R-22 in a 10.5 kW (3.0 TR) residential central heat pump. The performance evaluations were carried out in a psychrometric calorimeter test facility located at NRC using the Canadian Standards Association (GSA) I Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute (ARI)...

Venomotion, spontaneous cyclic contractions of venules, was first observed in the bat wing 160 years ago. Of all the functional roles proposed since then, propulsion of blood by venomotion remains the most controversial. Common animal models that require anesthesia and surgery have failed to provide evidence for venular pumping of blood. To determine whether venomotion actively pumps blood in a...

In Egypt, surface irrigation is the most commonly used method comparing with the other irrigation systems in old land. In addition, centrifugal instruments are prevailing used for irrigating fields. However, the major problem who confronts the farmers at operating these instruments is priming it to be operating by filling the water to replace the air in pipes. To be prime the instrument need tw...

INTRODUCTION New designs and alloys and different motions have been introduced to increase the cyclic fatigue (CF) resistance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) files. The aim of this study was to compare the CF resistance of K3 (SybronEndo, Orange, CA), K3XF (SybronEndo), and TF (SybronEndo) files under continuous rotation and reciprocating motion. METHODS A total of 210 files (30-tip diameter, 0.06 ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of dentinal defects after root canal preparation with reciprocating instruments (Reciproc and WaveOne) and rotary instruments. METHODS One hundred human central mandibular incisors were randomly assigned to 5 groups (n = 20 teeth per group). The root canals were instrumented by using the reciprocating single-file systems Rec...

introduction: this study aimed to perform a rigorous sample standardization and also evaluate the preparation of mesiobuccal (mb) root canals of maxillary molars with severe curvatures using two single-file engine-driven systems (waveone with reciprocating motion and oneshape with rotary movement), using micro-computed tomography (micro-ct). methods and materials: ten mb roots with single canal...
