Sella turcica dimensions in patients with severe skeletal malocclusion using cone-beam computed tomography: a retrospective observational study

Abstract Background As traditional two-dimensional cephalometric analyses of skeletal malocclusions often fail to capture complex craniofacial variations. Recent advances in three-dimensional (3D) imaging have highlighted the correlation between sella turcica morphology and skele...

Comparative efficacy of irrigation activation systems in root canal cleanliness: a region-specific analysis of debris and smear layer removal

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of four irrigation activation systems against conventional needle irrigation (CNI) in removing debris and smear layer from root canal. Forty human single-rooted teeth premolars were instrumented to a consistent size and randomly divided in...
