AIM The purpose of this study was to determine the amount of extruded debris and irrigant associated with different single-file systems and one multiple-file system. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty-five newly extracted single rooted primary canine teeth were used in this study. The root canals were instrumented using the reciprocating single-file system, the single-file rotary system and the mult...

introduction: the objective of this study was to compare the shaping ability of three rotary filing systems; constant taper k3 instruments, constant taper profile instruments and progressive taper protaper rotary instruments in clear resin blocks with simulated curved root canals. materials and methods: forty five resin blocks were divided into three groups. group a preparation was conducted wi...

Recent advances in endodontic instrumentation have simplified the treatment process and improved long-term success. Ten years ago the vast majority of endodontic instrumentation was being performed with hand files and reamers. Today, most practitioners providing endodontic therapy are utilizing rotary instrumentation.

INTRODUCTION Root fracture is not an instant phenomenon but a result of gradual development of tiny craze lines in tooth structure. Recent studies have shown that canal instrumentation has the potential to cause dentinal cracks. The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the formation of dentinal cracks caused by ProTaper rotary system to hand instrumentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS...

INTRODUCTION The ability of single-file, reciprocating instruments to remove inorganic debris is uncertain. By using micro-computed tomography (microCT), this study compared the 3-dimensional distribution, quantity, and density of remaining inorganic debris in the mesial root of mandibular molars after instrumentation. A single reciprocating file was compared with a multifile rotary instrumenta...

introduction: pulpectomy of primary teeth is commonly carried out with hand files and broaches; a tricky and time consuming procedure. the purpose of this in vitro study was to compare the cleaning efficacy and time taken for instrumentation of deciduous molars using hand k-files and flex master rotary system. materials and methods: in this study, 68 canals of 23 extracted primary molars with a...

AIM The aim of this study was to measure the increase in root canal surface area and canal transportation after biomechanical preparation at 1, 3, and 5 mm short of the apex with three different rotary systems in both continuous rotary and reciprocating rotary motions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty freshly extracted human mandibular molars with mesial root canal curvatures between 20° and 30° w...

use of rotary nickel-titanium (niti) instruments for endodontic preparation has introduced a new era in endodontic practice, but this issue has undergone dramatic modifications in order to achieve improved shaping abilities. cone-beam computed tomography (cbct) has made it possible to accurately evaluate geometrical changes following canal preparation. this study was carried out to compare cana...
