Editorial Policy & Standards

EndoGuide is written and reviewed by Dr. Levent Yuksel, a dentist (DDS) with postgraduate specialization in endodontics, practicing in Turkey. Clinical reference pages are authored or reviewed by a practicing endodontist before publication.

Each page surfaces a visible reviewer line and a last-updated date so readers can see who is responsible for the content and when it was last checked.

Manufacturer Directions For Use (DFU/IFU) are the primary source for file-system specifications such as sequence, taper, speed, and torque.

American Association of Endodontists (AAE) and European Society of Endodontology (ESE) guidelines provide the clinical framework and terminology.

Peer-reviewed literature from PubMed and endodontic society journals supplements manufacturer data with independent findings. Where published evidence is limited, this is stated explicitly.

Clinical pages cite primary sources — guidelines, peer-reviewed studies, and official documents — with links where available.

Quantitative claims are attributed to a named source. Figures that cannot be verified against a primary source are not published.

Clinical recommendations use measured, non-absolute language and are intended to support, not replace, individual clinical judgment.

System protocol pages carry a revision date indicating when the protocol was last verified against the current DFU. Clinical guides display a last-reviewed date.

Content is updated when manufacturer instructions change, when AAE/ESE guidance is revised, or when significant new evidence is published.

EndoGuide is an independent project. It accepts no manufacturer sponsorship, advertising, or affiliate commissions, and is not endorsed by any file-system manufacturer.

Product names and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used solely for educational identification.

If you notice an error or an outdated recommendation, please report it so it can be verified and corrected. Confirmed corrections are applied promptly.

Drafting, translation, and formatting may be supported by software tools, but clinical content is authored and verified by the endodontist named above. Tools are not used to generate clinical recommendations or citations without human review.
