OBJECTIVE To evaluate root canal enlargement following mechanical shaping using 2 nickel titanium rotary systems. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty single-rooted teeth were immersed in resin and sectioned perpendicular to the long axis at 4, 8, and 12 mm from the apex. Digital capture of sections was performed before and after canal instrumentation using Mtwo and BioRace instruments. The area increa...

The aim was to assess the presence of smear layer after canal instrumentation with two reciprocating rotary systems and a continuous motion one. Thirty canals were shaped with Reciproc, WaveOne or Mtwo systems. Smear layer was assessed following a three value scale at coronal, middle and apical levels with a scanning electron microscopy. Reciproc scores: coronal third, 20% of the cases: 0, 60%:...

Aim: The aim of this systematic analysis was to assess the prevalence dentinal microcracks at various levels (3, 6, and 9 mm from apex) after using instruments made with conventional, R-Phase, M-Wire NiTi alloys SAF system. Materials Methods: Electronic searches were conducted in databases Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus, PubMed, Web Science. To arrange search methods, “MeSH” terms and/or keyw...

ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Article Type: Original Article Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare several metallurgic properties of Neoniti instrument with four other commonly used endodontic rotary files. Methods and Materials: Neoniti A1 (25/0.08), RaCe (25/0.06), Mtwo (25/0.06), Twisted file (25/0.06) and ProTaper Next X2 (25/0.06) were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DS...

introduction: pulpectomy is the preferred treatment for restorable primary teeth with symptomatic irreversible pulpitis or periradicular lesion. considering the rather new application of rotary files for pulpectomy of primary teeth, the aim of this study was to compare the cleaning efficacy and instrumentation time of hand k-files and mtwo rotary system for preparation of human primary molars. ...

Nickel-titanium (NiTi) instruments are commonly used for shaping the root canal system in endodontic practice. They are more flexible and have better cutting efficiency than conventional stainless steel files. The superelasticity of NiTi rotary files allows the clinicians to produce the desirable tapered root canal form with a reduced tendency to canal transportation and instrument fracture. Hy...
