A comparative evaluation of remaining dentin thickness following biomechanical preparation of teeth using different rotary file systems: An in vitro study
Conclusion: Race file system performed better and removed lesser dentin in both buccolingual and mesiodistal directions. More dentin was removed at the coronal in mesiodistal direction with the use of ProTaper Next, and significant difference was seen between Protaper Next group and other groups in the study.

Comparative evaluation of remineralizing effect of fluoride and nonfluoride agents on artificially induced caries using different advanced imaging techniques
Conclusion: SDF showed the highest remineralizing potential in scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray, followed by CPP-ACFP, CPP-ACP, Fluoride toothpaste, and Fluoride-free toothpaste. Quantitative light fluorescence analysis showed more fluorescence changes in the CPP-ACFP followed by CPP-ACP, Fluoride toothpaste, and Fluoride-free toothpaste.

Analgesic efficacy of corticosteroids and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs through oral route in the reduction of postendodontic pain: A systematic review
Jerry Jose, Kavalipurapu Venkata Teja, Ajitha Palanivelu, Akshay Khandelwal, Riluwan SiddiqueJournal of Conservative Dentistry 2022 25(1):9-19 Analgesic medications in dentistry are indicated for the relief of acute pain, postoperative pain, chronic pain as well as controlling adjunctive intraoperative pain. The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has shown an effective reduction of postendodontic pain by action on the cyclooxygenase pathway. Another medication which is used recently is corticosteroid which enables the reduction of pain. They are hormones secreted from the adrenal gland and have strong an...
