A novel root canal filling technique using a resin-based sealer without gutta-percha: a summary of two cases

BMC Oral Health
Objectives Root canal filling is a fundamental step in non-surgical root canal treatment (RCT), required to prevent reinfection or new infection within the root canal system. Traditionally root canal filling uses a sealer in combination with gutta-percha

Effectiveness of EDTA as the irrigation solution to remove smear layer in root canal

Padjadjaran Journal of Dentistry, 2009
One of the objectives of successful endodontic treatment is the hermetic obturation of the root canal system. To achieve this, the root canal filling must seal the canal space both apically and coronally to prevent the ingress of microorganisms or tissue

Early Radiation Therapy Response Assessment Using Multi‐Scale Photoacoustic Imaging

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Tomographic and mesoscopic photoacoustics capture intratumoural features of radioresistance and response. ABSTRACT There is a critical unmet clinical need to identify biomarkers that predict and detect radiation therapy (RT) response in cancer. Using the unique capabilities of multi‐scale photoacoustic imaging (PAI) to depict tumor oxygenation and ...
