Objective: The aims of the study are to investigate effect surface treatment process on prolonging life rotary instruments against cyclic fatigue and coating corrosion resistance Ni-Ti files.Methods: This was carried out in two stages. In first one, a total 120 (25/.04 taper) from 3 brands (HeroShaper, RaCe, TF) were selected. Sixty them anodized then all tested simulated root canals with diffe...

AIM The aim of this study was to compare time of preparation and canal aberrations in a simulated root canals after using three different rotary systems: Endostar E5, Endostar E3 and T One File Gold. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 endodontic training blocks were used in this study and divided into three groups consisting of 30 each (n = 30). Blocks processing was performed by thirty dent...

INTRODUCTION Cleaning and shaping without making procedural errors have always been a challenge in endodontics, particularly when the root canals are curved. Several rotary instruments have been developed to minimize such errors. The purpose of this study was to compare the shaping ability of 2 rotary file systems, BioRace (BR; FKG, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) and ProTaper Next (PTN; Dentsp...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomized, controlled, prospective clinical study was to evaluate patients' intraoperative discomfort during root canal preparations in which either multi-file rotary (Mtwo) or single-file reciprocating (Reciproc) systems were used. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five adult patients, aged between 25 and 69 years old, with irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis partici...

For the deposition of hard layers on hard metals from the gas phase in the systems Ti-C-B, Ti-N-B, Ti-V-C-0, Ti-Zr-C, Ti-C-N, Ti-C, B-C and Si-C at selected deposition conditions the existence of oscillations was established, which result in a lamellar structure of the layers. As shown by Auger-Spectroscopic analyses the composition of the lamellas changes alternately. Reasons for the lamellar ...

The success of the endodontic treatment depends on the removal of vital or necrotic pulp tissue and minimizing the amount of pathological debris from the complex root canal system. Root canal irrigation seems to be undeniably important during biomechanical preparation, particularly because, during mechanical instrumentation, approximately 35-40% of the root canal surface remained unchanged (1)....

This study compared the shaping ability of five Ni-Ti rotary files (ProTaper Universal, Reciproc, Hyflex CM, ProTaper Next and TF Adaptive) in simulated root canals. Each group consisted of 10 root canals. Preand post-instrumentation photographs were taken using a precise camera and superimposed with Photoshop. Material removal from the inner and outer canal walls, transportation and centering ...

BACKGROUND Endodontic instrumentation carries the risk of over extrusion of debris and bacteria. The technique used and the type of instrumentation influences this risk. AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the K-file, ProTaper hand and ProTaper rotary instrumentation systems for the amount of apically extruded debris, irrigant solution and intracanal bacteria. DESIGN E...
