The in vitro analysis show that the pulp temperature increasing remains within the safe limits literature shows. It is important underline the polishing phase is the most critical and the clinicians have to pay attention to irrigation and pression to avoid pulp damages. Additional clinical studies have to be performed to confirm these results. PMID: 32181608 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
