Following random allocation, 43 participants of each group received the designated intervention. In the R-PP group, 2–3 mm of superficial pulp tissue was removed only from the exposure site, while chamber was completely de-roofed and 2–3 mm of superficial pulp tissue from entire chamber was removed in the E-PP group. Haemostasis was achieved using 3% sodium hypochlorite-soaked cotton pellets. Upon haemostasis, ProRoot mineral trioxide aggregate (ProRoot MTA) was placed over the pulpal wound, overlaid with a resin-modified glass ionomer liner, and restored with composite resin in the same visit. Outcome measures included clinical and radiographic success evaluation at 6 and 12 months, and pain assessment using the visual analogue scale pre-operatively and daily for 7 post-operative days. Nonparametric tests were used for variables including patient's age, pain intensities, mean analgesic consumption, and haemostasis time. Categorical variables including gender, caries type, analgesic intake, hard tissue barrier formation, clinical and radiographic success, and pulp sensibility responses were assessed using Chi-square or Fisher's exact test.

The R-PP group reported significantly lower pain scores on the 1st and 2nd post-operative days than E-PP (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; .05) and required significantly less analgesic intake (&lt;i&gt;p&lt;/i&gt; &lt; .05).

A digital thermocouple was used to measure the temperature of the irrigant inside the pulp chamber. Two measurements were performed for each tooth (<i>n</i> = 12): with the irrigant at rest and during XP-Endo agitation for 60 s to observe the temperature evolution. The data were statistically analysed using a <i>t-</i>test with a confidence level of 95%.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Results</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>DSC results suggested that the XP-Endo Finisher had a mixed R-phase and austenitic structure at room temperature. The temperature values at predetermined time points (0, 10, 40, 70, 120 and 240 s) were measured, and no statistical difference was observed between the values of the resting and activated solutions at any of the selected points (<i>p</i> &gt; .05). For the protocol performed with the XP-Endo file, the mean irrigant temperature observed at instrument insertion inside the root canal was 28.65°C. After 60 s of agitation, the temperature was 34.02°C. The solution temperature stabilized inside the canal only after 211 s at 35.5°C. The mean maximum irrigation solution temperature recorded inside the canal was 35.5°C without agitation and after XP-endo agitation (<i>p</i> &gt; .05).</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusions</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>Although the XP-Endo Finisher system does not promote heating of the irrigation solution, file expansion responsible for improved instrument cleaning starts at a temperature below the expected value.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":13724,"journal":{"name":"International endodontic journal","volume":"58 1","pages":"141-149"},"PeriodicalIF":5.4,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142226302","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An additional search was performed in three leading endodontic journals. Study selection and appraising the quality of the studies was carried out independently by two reviewers. Each of the 20 PRISMA-ScR items were allocated a score of either 0, 0.5 or 1 to reflect the completeness of the reporting. An item-specific and overall percentage reporting quality score was calculated and reported through descriptive statistics across a range of publication, as well as methodological/reporting characteristics. A univariable and multivariable quantile regression was performed to identify the effect of publication and methodological/reporting characteristics (year of publication, journal, inclusion of an appropriate reporting guideline, and study registration) on the overall percentage reporting quality score. Association of reporting quality score with publication characteristics was then investigated.&lt;/p&gt;\u0000 &lt;/section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;section&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;h3&gt; Results&lt;/h3&gt;\u0000 \u0000 &lt;p&gt;A total of 40 ScRs were identified and included for appraisal. Most of the studies were published from 2021 onwards. The overall median reporting quality score was 86%. The most frequent items not included in the studies were: &lt;i&gt;a priori&lt;/i&gt; protocol registration (22/40 compliant; 55%), and reporting of funding (16/40 compliant; 40%). Other key elements that were inadequately reported were the abstract (7/40 compliant; 18%), the rationale and justification of the ScR (21/40 compliant; 52%) and the objectives of the study (18/40 compliant; 45%).
