Mechanical preparation of root canals: shaping goals, techniques and means (2005, background): “Reprinted from (327) by permission of the Journal of Endodontics (30: 569, 2004).”
Passive ultrasonic irrigation of the root canal: a review of the literature. (2007, background): “As the root canal anatomy is complex (Peters 2004) an instrument will never contact the entire root canal wall (Wu et al. 2003).”
Welding and Joining of NiTi Shape Memory Alloys: A Review (2017, methodology): “This innovative technique may soon start being used in dental clinics, as fracture of such NiTi files inside root canals is considered a problem of major importance for the industry, the clinics and the patients [286,287].”
Review of contemporary irrigant agitation techniques and devices. (2009, background): “Even with the use of rotary instrumentation (20), the nickel-titanium instruments currently available only act on the central body of the canal, leaving canal fins, isthmi, and cul-de-sacs untouched after completion of the preparation (9–11, 20–24).”
