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...

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the bond strength (BS) of root canal fillings to root dentin using the reciprocating file-matched single-cone or lateral compaction techniques with resin-based and calcium-silicate-based sealers. Maxillary canine roots were prepared and filled using one of the following approaches: Reciproc R40 file and R40 single cone, WaveOne Large file and Large s...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to compare the torsion and bending properties of OneShape (OS; Micro Mega, Besançon, France) and WaveOne (WO; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) single-file systems. METHODS The torsional strength of OS size #25, 0.06 taper and WO primary size #25, 0.08 taper was measured by using a torsiometer after fixing the apical 5 mm of the instrument...

objectives: during root canal preparation, apical extrusion of debris can cause inflammation, flare-ups, and delayed healing. therefore, instrumentation techniques that cause the least extrusion of debris are desirable. this study aimed to compare apical extrusion of debris by five single-file, full-sequence rotary and reciprocating systems. materials and methods: one hundred twenty human mandi...

Introduction The present in vitro study aimed to evaluate and compare the changes in shape and surface area of the major foramen following shaping of curved canals with three new generation NiTi engine-driven instruments naming ProTaper Next, BT RaCe and WaveOne Gold- with 3 different levels of protrusion beyond the major apical foramen. Methods and Materials A total of 45 extracted human mol...

canals prepared with different enlargements using single-file reciprocating systems (Reciproc and WaveOne) and a conventional multi-file rotary (BioRaCe) system by microcomputed tomographic analysis. Thirty mesial roots of mandibular molars with moderate curvature (10° to 20°) presenting a type II Vertucci canal configuration and similar internal volume were chosen and scanned at an isotropic r...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to assess the influence of clinical use, in vivo, on the torsional behavior of Reciproc and WaveOne instruments considering the possibility that they degraded with use. MATERIAL AND METHODS Diameter at each millimeter, pitch length, and area at 3 mm from the tip were determined for both types of instruments. Twenty-four instruments, size 25, 0.08 taper, of ...
