چکیده
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the changes in cross-sectional area morphology of curved canals after instrumentation with Profile((R)), Hero 642((R)), and K3((R)) using digital imaging analysis. Study design Thirty mesial mandibular curved canals were used (25-40 degrees ). The molars were embedded in resin and the roots were sectioned transversely at three levels: apical, middle, and coronal. The canals were randomly distributed into 3 groups for instrumentation using Profile.04 and.06, Hero 642, and K3. The pre- and postinstrumentation sections were digitized and areas corresponding to the canals were measured with image-processing software. RESULTS Hero eliminated significantly more dentine than K3 and Profile in all 3 sections (P <.01, ANOVA test), with no differences observed between the latter 2 systems (P >.05, Student-Newman-Keuls test). All 3 systems yielded a rounded canal morphology in the coronal, middle, and apical thirds. CONCLUSION Hero rotary instruments produced more changes in cross-sectional area of the root canal.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of ProFile, GT, ProTaper, Race and K3 rotary instruments compared with hand K-files for removal of gutta-percha during retreatment. Sixty mandibular premolars were instrumented with GT rotary files and filled by thermomechanical compaction of gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. The teeth are randomly divided into 6 groups of 10 specimens eac...

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The apical extrusion of infected debris may have the potential to disrupt the balance between microbial aggression and host defense, resulting in incidents of acute inflammation. During preparation, irrigants and debris, such as bacteria, dentin filings and necrotic tissue may be extruded into the periradicular region leading to periapical inflammation and postoperative fl...
