The aim of the study was to compare the manual and rotary endodontic instruments focusing on risk of perforation when the whole root canal length is instrumented as well as the time required for preparation in primary teeth Fifty four teeth were divided randomly into three groups.Group I: The root canals were prepared manually with K-files. Group II : ProTaper instruments were used in a crown-d...

Aim: This study evaluated the effectiveness of mechanical reduction intracanal bacteria produced by endodontic systems Reciproc Blue (VDW GmbH), XP-Endo Shaper (FKG Dentaire) and ProTaper Next (Dentsply Sirona Endodontics) in severely curved canals culture analysis. Methodology: Fifty mesiobuccal mandibular molars were selected instrumented. Following this, six specimens as control, while 44 co...

An adequate portrayal of the root canal anatomy by diagnostic imaging is a prerequisite for a successful diagnosis and therapy in endodontics. The introduction of dental cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) has considerably expanded the scope of imaging diagnostics. The aim of the following study was to evaluate the imaging of endodontic structures with CBCT. One hundred and twenty teeth were e...

INTRODUCTION This study evaluated the effects of 2 different kinematics rotary nickel-titanium (NiTi) systems, Twisted File (TF), a continuous rotation full-sequence system, and WaveOne (WO), a reciprocating single-file system, on transportation, curvature, and volumetric changes of curved root canals by using cone-beam computed tomography. METHODS Forty mesiobuccal canals of mandibular molar...
