This study assessed the influence of traditional (TradAC) and conservative access (ConsAC) with different restorative techniques on the percentage of hard tissue removed (%HTR) and on the fracture resistance of mandibular premolars. 45 premolars were scanned in a micro-computed tomography and assigned into four groups according to access (TradAC or ConsAC) and restorative technique: composite resin (CR) or fibe...
Objective: This study evaluated the bacterial removal in flattened root canals after preparation with different tapers of ProDesign Logic instruments. Methodology: Fifty-five mandibular incisors with flattened root canals were contaminated with a pure culture of Enterococcus faecalis ATCC 29212 for 21 days at 37ºC. Root canals preparation was performed using ProDesign Logic and 0.9% sterile saline solution for ...
