AIM The aim of this study was to compare time of preparation and canal aberrations in a simulated root canals after using three different rotary systems: Endostar E5, Endostar E3 and T One File Gold. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 90 endodontic training blocks were used in this study and divided into three groups consisting of 30 each (n = 30). Blocks processing was performed by thirty dent...

INTRODUCTION Cleaning and shaping without making procedural errors have always been a challenge in endodontics, particularly when the root canals are curved. Several rotary instruments have been developed to minimize such errors. The purpose of this study was to compare the shaping ability of 2 rotary file systems, BioRace (BR; FKG, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) and ProTaper Next (PTN; Dentsp...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this randomized, controlled, prospective clinical study was to evaluate patients' intraoperative discomfort during root canal preparations in which either multi-file rotary (Mtwo) or single-file reciprocating (Reciproc) systems were used. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-five adult patients, aged between 25 and 69 years old, with irreversible pulpitis or pulp necrosis partici...

BACKGROUND Endodontic instrumentation carries the risk of over extrusion of debris and bacteria. The technique used and the type of instrumentation influences this risk. AIM The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the K-file, ProTaper hand and ProTaper rotary instrumentation systems for the amount of apically extruded debris, irrigant solution and intracanal bacteria. DESIGN E...

The purpose of this study is to establish a control method to make borehole trajectory smoother. Considering that the complexity of rotary steerable drilling trajectory control and uncertainty of underground work, analysis of the deficiencies for the traditional trajectory control and the rotary steerable drilling trajectory deviation vector control theory, introduced the concept of "trend Angl...

Abstract: Permanent magnetic linear motors(PMLMs) are easier to accelerate and achieve higher precision than rotary motors. Hence, they have a broad range of applications in the manufacturing industry and other motion control fields. Owing to the structural variation, however, the models of permanent magnet linear motors and rotary motors are different. As a result, their motion control systems...

Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of two rotary instrument systems (ProTaper and Revo-s File) in removing calcium hydroxide residues from root canal walls Materials and Methods:Thirty human  maxillary incisors were instrumented with the ProTaper System up to the F2 instrument, irrigated with 2.5% NaOCl,and filled with a calcium hydroxide intracanal dr...

introduction: retreatment is performed in teeth with unsuccessful root canal therapy or persistent apical lesion. the most important factor for achieving successful retreatment is thorough cleaning and reshaping. niti files and rotary instruments are widely used for the removal of obturatants. this study compared the ability of mtwo and d-race retreatment systems to remove residual gutta-percha...
