Impact of contracted endodontic access cavities on the fracture resistance of endodontically treated teeth after mechanical ageing by simulated chewing forces
This in-vitro study aims to comparatively evaluate the fracture resistance of Contracted Endodontic Cavities (CEC) vs. Traditional Endodontic Cavities (TEC) in mandibular molars after subjecting the samples to a chewing simulator. (Source: Journal of Endodontics)

Prevalence of Teaching Apical Patency and Various Instrumentation and Obturation Techniques in United States Dental schools: Two Decades Later
Maintaining apical patency has been advocated to minimize canal transportation, ledge formation, and loss of working length, despite increasing debris extrusion. A previous study in 1997 by Cailleteau reported 50% of U.S. dental schools taught patency. This present study aimed to evaluate recent trends in endodontic education in U.S. dental schools, in relation to the prevalence of maintaining apical patency and examining the primary methods of working length determination, instrumentation, obturation, and temporization.

Disinfection and shaping of Vertucci class II root canals after preparation with two instrument systems and supplementary ultrasonic activation of sodium hypochlorite
This study compared disinfection and shaping after root canal preparation with either XP-endo Shaper or TruNatomy instrument systems, supplemented by ultrasonic activation of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) with either stainless-steel (SS) or nickel-titanium (NiTi) inserts.
