The purpose of this narrative review was to discuss the scientific milestones that led to the
current understanding of the root dentinal microcrack phenomenon based on the interplay …

Although teeth microcracks (MCs) have long been considered more of an aesthetic problem,
their exact role in the structure of a tooth and impact on its functionality is still unknown. The …

The aim of this study is to compare root-end preparation performed with two different
ultrasonic tips—CVDentus and NSK—and respective time requirements. After root-end …

Aim To compare microcrack formation in roots of extracted teeth after the shaping of straight
and curved root canals with hand, rotary and reciprocating files using micro‐computed …

The potential mechanical impact of different rotary systems used for root canal preparation
has been a matter of debate for long. The aim of this study was to explore the incidence of …

Aim. To evaluate dentinal microcrack formation on root canals instrumented, continuously in
the body temperature, with XP‐endo shaper (XPES) and ProTaper Universal (PTU), by …

Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate whether file design and taper significantly
influence microcrack initiation during machine preparation. Materials and methods Sixty …

Introduction To evaluate the impact of root canal preparation in teeth with ultraconservative
access cavities (UltraAC) on the development of dentinal microcracks using a …

Background and objectives: Occlusal overloads produce a series of manifestations in teeth,
especially attrition and non-carious cervical lesions (NCCL). Optical Coherence …

This study aimed to determine the incidence of dentinal microcracks after instrumenting the
root canals of maxillary premolars using two novel rotary instrumentation systems. Micro …
