OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to evaluate the cutting efficiency of two new reciprocating instruments, Twisted File Adaptive and WaveOne Primary. MATERIAL AND METHODS 10 new Twisted File Adaptive (TF Adaptive) (SybronEndo, Glendora, CA, USA) and 10 new WaveOne Primary files (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) were activated using a torque-controlled motor, respectively...

INTRODUCTION Recent improvements in alloys, kinematics, and concepts have been combined to increase the cyclic fatigue resistance of nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments. The aim of this study was to compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of new M-Wire reciprocating WaveOne (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and Reciproc (VDW GmbH, Munich, Germany) files at 2 levels. METHODS Sixty Rec...

OBJECTIVES The study was to compare the shaping ability of Reciproc (VDW) and WaveOne (Dentsply Maillefer) instruments compared with ProTaper, Profile and hand instrument during the preparation of simulated root canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Five groups (n = 5) were established. Reciproc, WaveOne, ProTaper, Profile and K file (K-flexo file) were used to prepare the resin simulated canals. A s...

The aim of this study was to comparatively evaluate the bending resistance at 45º, the static and dynamic cyclic fatigue life, and the fracture type of the WaveOne (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) 25-08 and Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany) 25-08 instruments. A total of 60 nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments (30 Reciproc and 30 WaveOne) from three different lots, each of which was 25 ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to determine the influence of two different glide path preparation methods on the fracture rate of the Primary 25/08 WaveOne reciprocating instrument. Preparation times for different glide path methods and total time for root canal preparation, with and without prior glide path preparation, were also calculated. MATERIALS AND METHODS ISO 15, 0.02 taper E...

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate cleaning mandibular incisors with WaveOne Gold® (WO) under different preparation techniques. Methods: A total 210 human were selected and divided into seven groups (n = 30), prepared by WO single-files (Small 20/.07 – WOS; Primary 25/.07 WOP; Medium 35/.06 WOM; or Large 45/.05 - WOL) sequential-file techniques (WOS WOS WOL). Further subdivision made acc...

AIM To compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of new generation OneShape and WaveOne instruments when used with different kinematics. METHODOLOGY An artificial canal, made of stainless steel with an inner diameter of 1.5 mm, a 60° angle of curvature and a curvature radius of 3 mm, was used for cyclic fatigue test of new generation OneShape and WaveOne instruments. Groups were as follows (n = 2...
