Abstract:
The aim of this study was to introduce a new three-dimensional curvature classification method to evaluate the canal curvature and analyse its effect on the amount of debris extrusion during reciprocating preparation. Freshly extracted mandibular molar teeth were collected. After performing access cavities, periapical radiographs were taken on both mesio-distal and bucco-lingual planes of each tooth using a digital sensor. The radii of the curvature were calculated and a new three-dimensional classification method was used to classify canal curvature, based on radius as follows: Three-dimensionally slight, moderate and severe curve root canal. Fifteen teeth for each curvature sort were randomly chosen for canal instrumentation. The extruded debris was collected in pre-weighed Eppendorf tubes and calculated. A significant difference was noted between root canals with slight and severe three-dimensional curvatures (P < 0.001). It can be concluded that root canal curvature plays a significant role in the amount of extruded debris.

03:08Rate-Determining Steps
In a multistep reaction mechanism, one of the elementary steps progresses significantly slower than the others. This slowest step is called the rate-limiting step (or rate-determining step). A reaction cannot proceed faster than its slowest step, and hence, the rate-determining step limits the overall reaction rate.
The concept of rate-determining step can be understood from the analogy of a 4-lane freeway with a short-stretch of traffic-bottleneck caused due to...

Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
