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 ...

CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE The apical extrusion of infected debris may have the potential to disrupt the balance between microbial aggression and host defense, resulting in incidents of acute inflammation. During preparation, irrigants and debris, such as bacteria, dentin filings and necrotic tissue may be extruded into the periradicular region leading to periapical inflammation and postoperative fl...

This clinical trial focused on collating the instrumentation time and quality of root canal obturation in primary molars treated with three techniques: adaptive, rotary, manual. A triple-armed, randomized controlled was performed 75 requiring pulpectomy treatment, divided into groups (n = 25 per group). The teeth Group 1 were instrumented an adaptive technique (XP-endo Shaper, FKG Dentaire, La ...

introduction : to evaluate the efficacy of niti mechanical rotary instrumentation and hedstrom file for gutta-percha/sealer removal computed tomography (ct) was utilized in vitro . materials and methods: thirty extracted human single rooted teeth, each with a single canal were selected. the samples were decoronated with a double faced diamond disk to have 17-mm root; teeth roots were instrument...

statement of the problem: vertical root fractures are catastrophic events that often result in tooth extraction. many contributing factor are associated with increasing incidence of vertical root fracture. root canal preparation is one of the predisposing factors which can increase the root susceptibility to vertical fracture. purpose: the aim of this study was to compare the effects of three d...

Currently, various Nickel-Titanium rotary files are used in endodontic treatment, but there is no one perfect system that can be applied to any clinical situation. Therefore, the combined uses of various file systems which can emphasize the advantages of each system are introduced as hybrid instrumentation. The ProTaper system is efficient in body shaping and apical pre-enlargement but is repor...

PURPOSE This study compared the cutting area, instrumentation time, root canal anatomy preservation and non-instrumented areas obtained by F360(®), Mtwo(®), RaCe(®) and Hyflex(®) files with ISO size 35. MATERIAL AND METHODS 120 teeth with a single straight root and root canal were divided into 4 groups. Working length was calculated by using X-rays. The teeth were sectioned with a handpiece a...
