conclusions regarding the study limitations, dentinal cracks were observed in all files and distances from the apex. although there was more crack incidence in protaper files, no significant differences were noted regarding the studied systems and sections from the apex. materials and methods in an experimental in vitro trial, 80 maxillary and mandibular first molars were selected and their cro...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of nine types of endodontic instruments of nickel-titanium. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five files of 25 mm of length of each group: Reciproc (RC) R25; WaveOne (WO) Primary; Unicone (UC) L25 25/0.06; K3XF 25/0.06; ProTaper Universal F2 (PTF2); ProTaper Next X2 (PTX2); Mtwo 25/0.06; BioRaCe 25/0.06; One Shape L25 25/0....

introduction: root canal preparation is an important process in endodontic therapy. nickel-titanium (niti) rotary file system can be used in single length technique (simultaneous technique) without early coronal enlargement, as well as in crown-down method. the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare single length with crown-down methods’ shaping ability using mtwo niti files . materials ...

introduction: all instrumentation techniques have been reported to be associated with extrusion of infected debris. the aim of this study was to evaluate the number of bacteria extruded apically from extracted teeth ex vivo after canal instrumentation using the two engine-driven techniques utilizing nickel-titanium instruments (flex master and mtwo). materials and methods: seventy extracted max...
