introdouction: canal length measurement is essential for proper endodontic treatment. any error or miscalculation in working length determination, particularly in curved canals, can result in complications during or after root canal therapy. digital radiography has enabled accurate measurement of curved canal length. in this study, we evaluated the accuracy of calibration of a complementary met...

The aim of this study was to assess the influence micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) voxel size on evaluation debris accumulation after passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI) in curved root canals prepared with rotary nickel-titanium files. Mesial (n = 24) mandibular molars curvature between 25° and 35° were using ProDesign Logic 30/.05 (PDL) or HyFlex EDM 25/.08 (HEDM). PUI performed canal prep...

introduction: preserving the apical root structure during cleaning and shaping of the canal has always been a challenge in endodontics particularly when the root canals are curved. the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the apical transportation induced by the reciproc and biorace rotary systems in preparing the mesiobuccal root canal of the human maxillary molars. materials and meth...

introduction: to compare the cleaning effectiveness of k3 and race niti rotary systems with k-flexo file instruments during the preparation of curved canals in extracted human teeth. materials and methods: a total of 50 root canals of mandibular and maxillary molars with curvatures ranging between 25º and 35 º were divided in three groups of 15 each and 5 as negative control groups. canals were...

INTRODUCTION Pulpectomy of primary teeth is mostly carried out with hand files and broaches which is tricky and time consuming procedure. The development of new design features like varying tapers, non-cutting safety tips and varying length of cutting blades have resulted in new generation of rotary instruments. AIM To compare and evaluate cleaning efficacy, canal preparation and volumetric f...
