Introduction This study aimed to compare the incidence of dentinal crack formation by instrumentation with ProTaper Universal system (rotary, multi-file system), SafeSider (reciprocation movement, multi-file system) and Neolix (rotary, single-file system). Methods and Materials In this in vitro study, 60 freshly extracted mandibular first molars were randomly divided into three experimental g...

objectives : cleaning and shaping of the root canal system is an important step in endodontic therapy. new instruments incorporate new preparation techniques that can improve the efficacy of cleaning and shaping. the aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of mtwo and race rotary file systems in straightening the canal curvature using only one file or the conventional method. materials an...

INTRODUCTION In this experimental study, the amount of smear layer (SL) remnants in curved root canals after chemomechanical instrumentation with two engine-driven systems or hand instrumentation was evaluated. METHODS AND MATERIALS Forty-eight mesiobuccal roots of mandibular first molars with curvatures ranging between 25 and 35 degrees (according to Schneider's method) were divided into thr...

background. efficient canal preparation is the key to successful root canal treatment. this study aimed to assess the cleaning and shaping ability, preparation time and file deformation of rotary, reciprocating and manual instrumentation in canal preparation of primary molars. methods. the mesiobuccal canals of 64 extracted primary mandibular second molars were injected with india ink. the samp...

This study aimed to determine the incidence of dentinal microcracks after instrumenting root canals maxillary premolars using two novel rotary instrumentation systems. Micro-computed tomography (microCT) scans and images generated by sectioning observation with a stereomicroscope were used assess specimens. Twenty-two freshly extracted collected specimens divided into groups eleven. The tested ...

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 ...

i ntroduction: the aim of this study was to compare the shaping ability of two single-file systems and conventional rotary instruments in severely curved root canals of extracted human molars. methods and materials: mesiobuccal canals of 120 mandibular molars with angles of curvature ranging between 25 ° and 35 ° and radii of curvature from 5 to 9 mm, were divided into three groups ( n =40). in...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the preparation time and the amounts of apically extruded debris and irrigant using different nickel-titanium instrumentation systems. Forty-five extracted single-rooted mandibular premolar teeth were selected and divided into three groups. The root canals were instrumented according to the manufacturers' instructions, using a reciprocating single-file syst...

OBJECTIVE Apical extrusion of debris and irrigants during cleaning and shaping of the root canal is one of the main causes of periapical inflammation and postoperative flare-ups. The purpose of this study was to quantitatively measure the amount of debris and irrigants extruded apically in single rooted canals using two reciprocating and one rotary single file nickel-titanium instrumentation sy...
