INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to evaluate, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), transportation and centralization of different nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments. METHODS One hundred and twenty eight mandibular premolars were selected and instrumented using the following brands of NiTi files: WaveOne, WaveOne Gold, Reciproc, ProTaper Next, ProTaper Gold, Mtwo, BioRaCe a...

Abstract Background The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in canal volume after root preparation vivo with 3 different single-file techniques (Reciproc-Blue®, WaveOne-Gold® and XP-EndoShaper®), a new method using CBCT 3D reconstruction. Methods In prospective study, thirty human lower premolars from healthy patients were used, which extraction indicated for orthodontic reasons. ...

AIM The aim of this in vitro study was to assess the amount of apically extruded debris and irrigant using Reciproc vs self-adjusting fle (SAF) and to investigate the effect, if any, of gravitational force via mandibular and maxillary positioning of the teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty human mandibular premolars were randomly assigned to four groups of 10 teeth each. The root canals were in...

AIM To evaluate the influence of reciprocating single-file instrumentation with different working lengths (WL) and apical preparation sizes on apical bacterial extrusion. METHODOLOGY Sixty-eight human single-rooted pre-molars were used. Conventional access cavities were prepared, and the root canals were contaminated with an Enterococcus faecalis suspension and incubated at 37°C for 30 days. ...

INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of dentinal microcracks observed after root canal preparation with 2 reciprocating and a conventional full-sequence rotary system using micro-computed tomographic analysis. METHODS Thirty mesial roots of mandibular molars presenting a type II Vertucci canal configuration were scanned at an isotropic resolution of 14.16 μm. The sample was...

Aims and Objectives Root canal preparation and obturation are of great importance in endodontics. Its purpose is to eliminate pulpal and periradicular disease. The aim of this study was to compare coronal bacterial microleakage in prepared root canals using Neoniti A1 and Reciproc files that obturated with lateral compaction, single cone gutta-percha, and hybrid (tapered cone/lateral compaction...

Aims: To summarize the currently available evidence to point out different outcomes of static versus dynamic tests and assess whether cyclic fatigue provide useful data information for clinical practice.
 Study Design: Systematic review.
 Place Duration Study: From May 2015 July 2021, a total 21 studies on HyFlex EDM have been published in Journal Endodontics International Endodontic J...

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect using single-file with different tapered coronal flaring files on dentinal crack. Material and Methods: Human extracted mandibular premolars (n=128) were selected divided into four groups (n=32) based instruments; Group 1, One Flare; 2, Endoflare; 3, Gates Glidden Drills; 4, Control Group. Specimens subgroups single file system (n=...
