Background and Aims: Adequate bowel preparation is the cornerstone of high-quality colonoscopy. The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) is the gold standard for assessment, yet its application suffers from inter-observer variability and lacks a ful...
Reprocessing reusable flexible endoscopes is resource-intensive and involves high water consumption. This study evaluated the impact of replacing a standard detergent with EndoPreZyme™, a novel detergent, at Blackpool Teaching Hospitals NHS Fou...
Objective: To report a rare case of pulp space tissue growth in a mature mandibular molar with severe endo-periodontal involvement after conservative endodontic treatment and to discuss the possible biological explanations, including regeneration and...
Background: Treating tooth root canal systems with Er:YAG laser together with irrigants has been shown to be effective in reducing biofilms formed by Enterococcus faecalis. This study investigated whether laser-activated irrigation (LAI) with side-fi...
Background. One of the most important aims of an endodontic treatment is to obtain the complete removal or reduction of root canal remaining filling material: Smear layer, bacteria, intra-canal medicaments. To meet this requirement, several irrigatio...
This study aimed to examine the penetration depth into dentinal tubules of some chelating agents. The 17% EDTA and two preparations containing surfactants (Smear Clear, Bioakt Endo) were tested. Surface tension and liquid viscosity were measured usin...
Reliable three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction from endoscopic video is essential for endoscopic digital twins, scene review, and minimally invasive visual analysis. However, endoscopic images are not clean observations of intrinsic tissue appearance...
Root canal cleaning plays an important role in endodontics. In most cases, root canal cleaning is performed using irrigants, such as sodium hypochlorite or EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid). The efficacy of these irrigants may be compromised by...
Background/Objectives: This study evaluates the penetration of a calcium silicate-based sealer (BC Universal) into dentinal tubules after different final irrigation protocols. Methods: Eighty-four single-rooted extracted teeth were instrumented with...
Background/Objectives: This study aims to depict trends in Endoscopic Dacryocystorhinostomy research in Asian countries. Methods: A bibliometric analysis was performed in April 2024 utilizing the SCOPUS database. The keywords “Endoscopic Dacryo...
Introduction: Advanced endoscopic therapy techniques have been developed and have created alternative treatment options to surgical therapy for several gastrointestinal diseases. This work will focus on new endoscopic tools for special indications of...
Background and Objectives: Successful root canal treatment depends on the thorough removal of biofilms through chemomechanical preparation. This study aimed to investigate and compare the cleaning and disinfecting efficiency of oval-shaped root canal...
This study evaluated the effects of mechanical agitation of Aloe vera Barbadensis Miller solution at different concentrations using passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI), XP Endo Finisher (XPF), XP Clean (XPC), and Easy Clean (ECL), compared to convent...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of mechanized final irrigation protocols (XPE, XP-Endo Finisher; XPC, XP-Clean; and ECL, Easy Clean) compared to PUI (passive ultrasonic irrigation) on the debris incidence and open dentinal tubules,...
Enzyme-production microorganisms typically occupy a dominant position in composting, where cellulolytic microorganisms actively engage in the breakdown of lignocellulose. Exploring strains with high yields of cellulose-degrading enzymes holds substan...
The purpose of the mechanical root canal preparation is to clean it and give it the right shape. The preparation should be carried out in a way that maintains the original curvature and initial orientation of the apical end. Insufficient root canal p...
The valorization of plant biomass is one of the main strategies for sustainable development. However, its use as energy, biofuels, fertilizers, value-added products, or even food is severely affected by the complexity of the plant cell wall. Therefor...
This paper is a literature review with additional virtual analyses of the authors’ own experimental research results. Knowledge from various areas was synergistically combined, appropriately for concurrent engineering, presenting several possible met...
The major factors affecting the in vitro immature embryo rescue efficiencies from Prunus persica or P. armeniaca accessions have been identified, along with improving the feasibility. Variations in the woody plant medium (WPM) were used depending on...
