INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of dentinal defects after root canal preparation with reciprocating instruments (Reciproc and WaveOne) and rotary instruments. METHODS One hundred human central mandibular incisors were randomly assigned to 5 groups (n = 20 teeth per group). The root canals were instrumented by using the reciprocating single-file systems Rec...

OBJECTIVE The goal of present study was to determine the effect of different nickel-titanium file systems on the amount of apically extruded debris during endodontic retreatment: D-RaCe retreatment systems, EdgeFile XR retreatment rotary files, and Reciproc R40. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-six single-rooted prepared mandibular premolar teeth were filled with Gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer. ...

Aim: To evaluate the cyclic fatigue resistance of Pro Taper NEXT & Reciproc R rotary files in simulated canals with angle curvaturesat 45o and 60 o.Materials Methods; This study was conducted at HKE' s S.Nijalingappa institute dental sciences reasearch institute,Kalaburagi. After considering inclusion exclusion criteria selected samples were divided into two groups, as G1(ProTaperNEXT) G2(R...

introduction: the aim of this in vitro study was to compare the canal transportation of two single-file engine-driven systems, neoniti and reciproc, using cone-beam computed tomography (cbct). methods and materials: forty-five non-calcified roots with mature apices and apical curvature of 15-30 degrees were selected from extracted human maxillary molars for this study. samples were randomly div...

The use of reciprocating movement (RM) was claimed to increase the resistance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) file to fatigue in comparison to continuous rotation (CR). Recently two new brands of NiTi file have been marketed for use in a RM mode. The purpose of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance and torsional resistance of these two files; Reciproc and WaveOne. Cyclic fatigue tes...

introduction: preserving the apical root structure during cleaning and shaping of the canal has always been a challenge in endodontics particularly when the root canals are curved. the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the apical transportation induced by the reciproc and biorace rotary systems in preparing the mesiobuccal root canal of the human maxillary molars. materials and meth...

Background. This study compared the cyclic fatigue resistance, bending resistance and cross-sectional areas of Reciproc Blue (RPC Blue), WaveOne Gold (WOG), and Genius File (GF) NiTi rotary systems. Methods. Forty RPC Blue R25 (25/.08), 40 WOG Primary (25/.07) and 40 GF (25/.04) files were used in the present study. Flexibility of the files was determined by 45° bending test. The instruments we...

INTRODUCTION As a consequence of root canal preparation, dentinal chips, irrigants and pulp remnants are extruded into preradicular space. This phenomenon may lead to post endodontic flare-ups. The purpose of this study was to compare the amount of extruded debris with four endodontic NiTi engine-driven systems. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty mesiobuccal roots of maxillary molars with 15-30˚ cur...

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 ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to flexural fatigue of Reciproc R25 (VDW, Munich, Germany), WaveOne Primary (VDW, Munich, Germany), Mtwo (Sweden & Martina, Padova, Italy), and Twisted File (TF; SybronEndo, Orange, CA) instruments used in continuous rotation or in 2 different reciprocating motions. METHODS A total of 180 nickel-titanium files from 4 brands mar...
