Effect of ProTaper Gold, Self-Adjusting File, and XP-endo Shaper Instruments on Dentinal Microcrack Formation: A Micro-computed Tomographic Study.
TL;DR: Root canal preparations with ProTaper Gold, SAF, and XP‐endo Shaper systems did not induce the formation of new dentinal microcracks on straight root canals of mandibular premolars, and micro–computed tomography was used to evaluate the presence of dentin defects before and after root canal preparation with new nickel‐titanium rotary systems.

Micro-computed Tomographic Evaluation of Dentinal Microcrack Formation after Using New Heat-treated Nickel-titanium Systems.
TL;DR: Root canal preparation with the HyFlex CM, Hyflex EDM, Vortex Blue, and TRUShape systems did not induce the formation of new dentinal microcracks on straight root canals of mandibular incisors.

TL;DR: In the mesiobuccal root canals of extracted mandibular first molars, additional preparation using an XP-Endo Finisher file, after using the PTUR system and F3 ProTaper instruments, enhanced the removal of filling materials fromRoot canals.

The micro-CT evaluation of enamel-cement thickness, abrasion, and mineral density in teeth in the postmortem interval (PMI): new parameters for the determination of PMI
TL;DR: It is indicated that surface abrasion and enamel mineral density evaluation via micro-CT can be considered as objective and precise parameters in PMI evaluation in forensic medicine and odontology.
