Histological evaluation of the effectiveness of five instrumentation techniques for cleaning the apical third of root canals.

چکیده
The efficacy of five instrumentation techniques for cleaning the apical third of curved root canals was assessed by histological examination. Mesial root canals of freshly extracted human mandibular molars were prepared by the following instrumentation methods: step-back technique using stainless steel files; step-back technique using nickel-titanium files; ultrasonic technique; balanced force technique; and Canal Master U technique and instruments. The apical portion of the root was histologically processed, and cross-sections were examined for remaining soft tissue, predentin, and debris. The results showed no significant differences among the techniques. Although the five instrumentation methods were effective in removal of major amounts of tissue from the canals, none totally debrided the entire root canal system, especially when variations in the internal anatomy were present.

Comparison of Cleaning Efficacy and Instrumentation Time of Reciproc and Mtwo Rotary Systems in Primary Molars
Background and Aim: Pulpectomy of primary teeth is commonly performed with hand files and instruments. However, it is a time consuming procedure. Compared to hand files, rotary instrumentation has more advantages. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the cleaning efficacy and time taken for instrumentation of deciduous mo-lars using Reciproc and Mtwo rotary systems. Materials an...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to evaluate the cleaning effectiveness achieved with two reciprocating single-file systems in severely curved root canals: Reciproc and WaveOne. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five mesial roots of mandibular molars were randomly separated into two groups, according to the instrumentation system used. The negative control group consisted of five specimens that...
متن کاملComplex Apical Anatomy Revealed Following Endodontic Treatment of a Maxillary Molar Using the GentleWave System: A Case Report
Introduction: Primary root canal treatment success depends on a number of variables, including debridement and disinfection of the root canal system to remove all bacteria and diseased pulpal and dentinal tissues. Complex root canal anatomy, such as concealed isthmuses, apical deltas and lateral canals, hinder this objective, making instrumentation of these regions nearly impossible. Recent adv...
