The effect of moisture conditions on the constitution of two bioceramic-based root canal sealers by Al-Haddad, A.Y., Kutty, M.G., Abu Kasim, N.H., Che Ab Aziz, Zeti Adura

“…Twenty four extracted teeth were prepared and assigned to four groups according to the moisture conditions: (1) dry: using ethanol as final irrigation, (2) normal: using paper points until the last one appeared dry, (3) moist: using a Luer adapter for 5 s followed by 1 paper point, and (4) wet: the canals remained totally flooded. The roots were filled with MTA Fillapex® and Endosequence® BC and kept in phosphate buffer solution at 37 °C for 10 days. …”

Reliability of Panoramic-Radiograph to Determine the Position of Third-Molar from Inferior-Alveolar-Canal by Fauzi, A.A., Parker, M.E., Norval, E., Nambiar, Phrabhakaran

“…Cone-beam-computed-tomography (CBCT) has been useful in providing insights of relevant anatomy prior to surgical procedures, including the assessment of the proximity of impacted mandibular-third-molar to the inferior-alveolar-canal (IAC). It is important to understand the reliability of conventional panoramic-radiograph in the assessment of this criterion since it is more commonly used as first line radiographic approach due to its availability and lower radiation dose. …”
