BACKGROUND Controlled, uniformly tapered radicular preparation is a great challenge in endodontics. Improper preparation can lead to procedural errors like transportation of foramen, uneven dentine thickness, stripping of root canal, formation of ledge, zip, and elbow in curved canals. These procedural errors and their sequel can adversely affect the prognosis of treatment. AIM/OBJECTIVES The...

introduction: to compare the cleaning effectiveness of k3 and race niti rotary systems with k-flexo file instruments during the preparation of curved canals in extracted human teeth. materials and methods: a total of 50 root canals of mandibular and maxillary molars with curvatures ranging between 25º and 35 º were divided in three groups of 15 each and 5 as negative control groups. canals were...

Peracetic acid (PAA) is widely used as a sterilizing/disinfecting agent, and, in endodontics, it has been introduced promising irrigant root canal treatment. It at different concentrations to achieve various functions. However, endodontic instruments contact with PAA of certain concentration may affect their fatigue resistance. Therefore, the aim this study was investigate impact on cyclic resi...

Technological innovation and the modernization of manufacturing procedures have thoroughly redefined field nickel–titanium (NiTi) rotary reciprocating endodontic instruments [...]

AIM To illustrate the conceptual basis and the operative procedure of the Anatomic Endodontic Technology (AET) technique and to illustrate the specific instruments used in each phase. SUMMARY The basic characteristics of the AET technique are reported. The instruments and procedure are described in three phases: coronal access, coronal-middle preparation and apical preparation. In the first p...

Introduction: Root canal instrumentation is an important phase in root canal therapy. Since success in endodontic treatment depends on file defect and fracture, the aim of this study was to compare the evaluation of defect and fracture in rotary and reciproc files in severe curved root canals. Materials & Methods: In this experimental study, 60 mesial canals of human closed apex molars with ...

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 ...

Aim- The aim of this in-vitro study was to compare the effect NaOCl, EDTA, Propolis and Distilled water on cyclic fatigue resistance Protaper Gold rotary NiTi instruments.
 Method- A total 40 commercially available (n =40) Ni-Ti files were used assess different root canal irrigants their resistance. divided into four groups (n=10 per group) as Group 1- (Control group), 2 – 5.25 % 3 -17% ED...
