Current applications and future prospects of stem cells in dentistry [PDF]

, 2015
Stem cells are defined as clonogenic, unspecialized cells capable of both self-renewal and multi-lineage differentiation, contributing to regenerating specific tissues. For years, restorative treatments have exploited the lifelong regenerative potential

Influence of different kinematics on stationary and dynamic torsional behavior of JIZAI nickel-titanium rotary instruments: An in vitro study

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2023
Background/purpose: Using conventional approach to examine stationary torque of nickel-titanium rotary instruments contradicts the clinical condition, and its validity for motions involving clockwise and counterclockwise rotations is questionable.

Dynamic torque and screw-in force of four different glide path instruments assessed in simulated single- and double-curved canals: An in vitro study

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2023
Background/purpose: The glide path instruments are the introductory instruments into the canals; thus, they should be durable enough to withstand torsional stress/screw-in force.
