Background and Aim: Pulpectomy of primary teeth is commonly performed with hand files and instruments. However, it is a time consuming procedure. Compared to hand files, rotary instrumentation has more advantages. The purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the cleaning efficacy and time taken for instrumentation of deciduous mo-lars using Reciproc and Mtwo rotary systems. Materials an...

In this study, based on data from instrumentation Kaboodval earth dam, pore pressure, stresses and the meeting of the dam construction period compared with the values ​​of numerical analysis. For this purpose, during the construction of the dam using Mohr-Coulomb model behavior, the softening, hardening model has been analyzed and pore pressure, stresses in the body and its meeting with instrum...

introduction: the most important aims of root canal preparation are the removal of vital pulp tissue, remaining necrotic debris and infected dentin, eliminating the bulk of bacteria present in the root canal system. the aim of this study was to compare the cleaning efficacy of hand k-flexofiles and rotary race and k3 instruments in root canal preparation. materials and methods: a total of 60 si...

the aim of ideal canal preparation is to prevent iatrogenic aberrations such as transportation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the root canal transportation by reciproc file with and without glide path.thirty acrylic-resin blocks with a curvature of 60° and size#10 (2% taper) were assigned into two groups (n= 15). in group 1, the glide path was performed using stainless steel k-files siz...
