OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to compare the maximum screw-in forces generated during the movement of various Nickel-Titanium (NiTi) file systems. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty simulated canals in resin blocks were randomly divided into 4 groups for the following instruments: Mtwo size 25/0.07 (MTW, VDW GmbH), Reciproc R25 (RPR, VDW GmbH), ProTaper Universal F2 (PTU, Dentsply Maillef...

They found that utilisation of standard instruments in either reaming and/or filing produced preparations that were irregular in shape, and were not continuously tapering. The narrowest part of the canal, the so-called ‘elbow’, was located at a point coronal to the apex or foramen. In addition, the foramen often displayed transportation, which was called the ‘apical zip’. These characteristics ...

WaveOne Gold, ProTaper Reciproc Blue, Next, and files were selected to compare the phase transformation behaviors mechanical properties of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary after gold heat blue treatments. The reverse finishing point temperatures Next higher than those other two instruments investigated. At a deflection 0.5 mm, loads significantly varied except for Gold. 3.0 Blue Gold compared ProT...

Aim: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect different torque settings ProTaper Next files on microcrack formation. Materials and methods: Ninety mandibular anterior teeth were used. Fifteen served as control 75 divided into three groups according (n=25). In group 1; root canals instrumented using at a rotational speed 300rpm 2.0 Ncm torque. 2; used with 3.5 torque, in 3; 5.2 Teeth ...
