Micro-CT assessment of two different endodontic preparation systems

Abstract: The aim of this study was to compare two endodontic preparation systems using micro-CT analysis. Twenty-four one-rooted mandibular premolars were selected and randomly assigned to two groups. The samples (n = 12) of Group 1 were prepared using the ProTaper Universal rotary system, while Group 2 (n = 12) was prepared using the EndoEZE AET system complemented by manual apical preparation with K-type hand files up to #30. A 2.5% sodium hypochlorite solution was used in both groups for irrigating. Both groups were… Show more

“…14,23,24 This final configuration does not respect the common original root canal anatomy of mandibular incisors, mainly in the middle thirds, which is the area of greatest flattening. 7,10 This final shape could lead to untouched areas with remaining debris, smear layer, and bacteria. Clinically, this fact could decide the outcome of the endodontic treatment, decreasing the success rate.…”
