To evaluate whether maintenance of apical patency has an effect on post-operative pain in symptomatic irreversible pulpitis cases: An in vivo study
Author details: Mansi Punjabi, Sonal Mukhraiya, Apoorva Sharma, Rohit Kochhar, Manju Kumari
Background: Apical patency refers to the controlled extension of a small, flexible file slightly beyond the apical foramen to prevent debris accumulation and apical blockage during root canal preparation. Its role in influencing postoperative pain remains controversial.Aim & Objective: To evalua....

Comparative evaluation of postoperative pain using continuous and reciprocating motion rotary file systems – A clinical trial
Author details: Sonal Mukhraiya, Mansi Punjabi, Apoorva Sharma, Rohit Kochhar, Manju Kumari
Introduction: Post-operative pain is a common complication following root canal therapy, often caused by extrusion of debris, microorganisms, or irrigants into periapical tissues. The design and kinematics of endodontic file systems—rotary or reciprocating—may influence the degree of post-treatment....

A comparative evaluation of efficacy of smear layer removal using a novel handpiece mounted continuous irrigation system – An in vitro stereomicroscopic study
Author details: Sneha Chandran, Mohammed Ashik, Elsy P Simon, Nimmy Kurian
Introduction: The exchange of irrigant apical to the needle tip is dependent on the needle type, design, and gauge and it is usually limited to 1 to 1.5 mm beyond the needle tip. Therefore, to deliver active irrigant apically, the needle is required to be inserted near the working length (WL). The p....

Efficiency of dental operating microscope over stereomicroscope in early detection of surface defects of Ni-Ti rotary instruments
Author details: Elsy P Simon, Rishana P, Kavya Belaram
Introduction: Endodontics often involves operating without direct visual access, making instrument integrity crucial. Advances in biomaterials and nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) rotary systems have improved treatment, but these instruments are prone to fatigue and fracture, especially in curved root canals....
