ConclusionThere was no significant difference in bacterial reduction in infected canals after instrumentation using hand or rotary NiTi instruments. In terms of incidence of positive results for bacteria, culture also showed no significant differences between the groups, but the rotary NiTi instrumentation resulted in more negative results in the more sensitive qPCR analysis.© 2012 International Endodontic Journal.

Research That Matters – Biocompatibility and Cytotoxicity Screening
Abstract
In an attempt to enhance the quality of submitted manuscripts, the International Endodontic Journal has recently embarked on a series of editorials. The first two of these editorials dealt with investigations into irrigating solutions and root fillings. The recurring theme that connects these two areas with the question of biocompatibility is the recently increased number of submission, unfortunately often of limited value for clinicians and researchers alike. In our opinion the time is right for a renewed appraisal of areas that can be identified as relevant in the assessment of biocompatibility of endodontic materials. Moreover, the assays and experiments employed should also be reviewed and put into context.
