International endodontic journal
-
To evaluate the full-text publication rates of scientific research abstracts presented at the European Society of Endodontology (ESE) Congresses held between 1993 and 2013 (a total of 11 occasions) and to determine factors associated with the manuscripts. ⋯ A substantial number of research abstracts presented at ESE congresses were not published in peer reviewed journals. Authors prefer to publish their research papers in international journals with high impact factor. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Comparative Study
Comparison of centring ability and transportation between four nickel titanium instrumentation techniques by micro-computed tomography.
To compare the centring ability and transportation of ProTaper Next (PTN), ProTaper Universal (PTU), Race 123 and RevoS using micro-computed tomography (μCT). ⋯ ProTaper Next prepared more centred root canal shapes when compared with Race, PTU and RevoS. In the coronal and middle third of the root canals, the differences in centring between PTN and PTU/RevoS were significant. PTN root canal preparations were more centred than those achieved with all other instruments in the apical third.
