objectives: pain is an unpleasant outcome of endodontic treatment that can be unbearable to patients. instrumentation techniques may affect the frequency and intensity of post-endodontic pain. this study aimed to compare single visit post endodontic pain using mtwo (niti) rotary and hand k-file instruments. materials and methods: in this randomized controlled trial, 60 teeth with symptomatic ir...

background: nickel-titanium (ni-ti) rotary instrument files are important devices in endodontics in root canal preparation. ni-ti file breakage is a critical and problematic issue and irrigation techniques were applied to decrease risk of file failure root. the aim of the present study was to compare the temperature gradient change of different irrigation solutions with ni-ti rotary instrument ...

Background: Endodontic success depends on the complete cleaning and shaping of root canal. In order to achieve this goal, debris removal is essential. Even with improvements in instrument design, apical extrusion continues be a cause periradicular inflammation. The current study aimed compare amount apically extruded throughout canal instrumentation TruNatomy, ProTap...

AIM To evaluate the efficacy of 0.5%, 2.5% and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) as intracanal irrigants associated with hand and rotary instrumentation techniques against Enterococcus faecalis within root canals and dentinal tubules. METHODOLOGY A total of 180 extracted human premolar teeth were infected for 21 days with E. faecalis. The specimens were divided into 12 groups, as follows: gro...

The purpose of this prospective, randomized, single-blind study was to compare the in vivo antibacterial efficacy of a hand/rotary technique versus a hand/rotary/ultrasound technique in mesial root canals of necrotic mandibular molars. The hand/rotary group consisted of 16 mesial roots prepared with a hand/rotary technique. The hand/rotary/ultrasound group consisted of 15 mesial roots prepared ...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of the present study was to quantify and compare the amount of extruded debris from apical foramen after instrumentation of the root canal system with hand and rotary instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS Root canals of forty five fresh extracted single rooted human teeth with mature apexes and less than 15 degree of root curvature were instrumented in group A with stain...

The removal of necrotic and vital pulp substrates microorganisms their toxins from the root canal system (RCS) has been found to be basis for a successful endodontic treatment. In this study, our aim was evaluate effect passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) on elimination organic remnant tissue infected, narrow curved mandibular canals during instrumentation. For purpose, mesiobuccal first molars...

BACKGROUND With root canal treatment, the organic debris and micro-organisms from pulp space is removed and an ideal canal preparation is achieved that is conducive of hermetic obturation. The purpose of this study was to correlate the pre-operative canal curvature with the postoperative curvature in human extracted teeth prepared with K-3 rotary systems. METHODS The root canal preparation wa...
