INTRODUCTION The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the effects of establishing glide path on the centering ability and preparation time of two single-file reciprocating systems in mesial root canals of mandibular molars. METHODS AND MATERIALS Sixty extracted mandibular molars with curvatures of 25-39 degrees and separate foramina for the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals, were divi...

Sealer placement techniques have not been examined in teeth with curved canals prepared with Lightspeed instruments. Three traditional methods of placing sealer were studied, using 45 extracted human single-rooted teeth, divided into 3 groups of 15. Root canal preparations were made with Light-speed nickel-titanium, engine-driven instruments. AH26 sealer was applied with either K-file, lentulo ...

Objective: The aims of the study are to investigate effect surface treatment process on prolonging life rotary instruments against cyclic fatigue and coating corrosion resistance Ni-Ti files.Methods: This was carried out in two stages. In first one, a total 120 (25/.04 taper) from 3 brands (HeroShaper, RaCe, TF) were selected. Sixty them anodized then all tested simulated root canals with diffe...

Objective:
 To assess the life of two different rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments in curved canals with complete protocol, by using 360°rotation motion and reciprocating motion.
 Materials Methods:
 About one hundred seventy extracted maxillary mandibular molars were taken from which root selected randomly divided 2 groups, for analyzing number uses files. One prepared Hy...

introduction: this study aimed to perform a rigorous sample standardization and also evaluate the preparation of mesiobuccal (mb) root canals of maxillary molars with severe curvatures using two single-file engine-driven systems (waveone with reciprocating motion and oneshape with rotary movement), using micro-computed tomography (micro-ct). methods and materials: ten mb roots with single canal...

objectives: the purpose of this study was to evaluate the resistance to fatigue failure of five different nickel-titanium rotary files in three different curved trajectories. materials and methods: a total of 150 neoniti a1, race 25.06, mtwo 25.06, twisted file 25.06 and protaper next x2 files with the tip size of 25 were tested (n=30 for each group). three groove types simulating curved canals...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to identify the influential factors responsible for clinical instrument separation of reused ProTaper Universal rotary instruments (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). METHODS Six thousand one hundred fifty-four root canals in 2,654 teeth were prepared using ProTaper Universal files in endodontic clinics. Separation incidence was determined...

introduction: disinfection and subsequent obturation of the root canal space require adequate mechanical enlargement of the canals. the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the shaping ability of mtwo, race and medin rotary instruments during the preparation of curved root canals. materials and methods: sixty mesiobuccal root canals of mandibular molars with severe curvatures between 2...
