An In Vitro Investigation of the Impact of Ultrasound Induced‐Streaming Motions on the Flow Inside Lateral Features of the Root Canal

International Endodontic Journal, Volume 59, Issue 2, Page 310-319, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim The study aims to experimentally characterize the flow inside lateral canals during ultrasonic irrigation. The effect of the canal angle as well as the relative position of the endodontic file with the inlet of the channel was quantified. Methodology An idealized endodontic geometry was 3D printed and used as a mould to fabricate a channel

The Twin‐Rooted Anomaly: Endodontic Management of a Rare Case of a Maxillary Central Incisor With Two Roots

Clinical Case Reports, Volume 14, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This case report describes the endodontic management of a maxillary central incisor with two roots, representing a rare anatomical variation. A 73‐year‐old female patient presented with a fractured tooth #21 with a carious crown. Pulp sensibility testing using cold spray elicited a sharp and prolonged painful response, consistent with a ...
