Aim To determine the effect of blue thermal treatment on Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany) endodontic instruments and the amount of apically extruded debris during retreatment procedures. Methodology Thirty extracted mandibular molar teeth having mesial roots with a degree of curvature less than 20° and having an initial apical size equivalent to a size 10 K‐file were selected. The mesial roots of the teeth were removed from the cementoenamel junction to obtain a 15‐mm root length. The mesiobuccal canals were prepared to size F2 using the ProTaper Universal system (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), filled with gutta‐percha and 2Seal (VDW) using the lateral compaction technique and then randomly divided into two groups (n = 15). The root fillings were removed with one of the following instruments using a crown‐down preparation technique: M‐Wire Reciproc or Reciproc Blue (both VDW). Apically extruded debris was collected in pre‐weighed Eppendorf tubes. The Eppendorf tubes were then stored in an incubator at 70 °C for five days to evaporate the distilled water. The data were analysed using the Mann–Whitney U test (P = 0.05). Results Reciproc Blue (1.42 ± 0.4491 mg) extruded significantly less debris apically than M‐Wire Reciproc (2.56 ± 1.0232 mg) (P < 0.05). Conclusions Blue thermal treatment of Reciproc instruments was associated with less debris extrusion during retreatment procedures.

“…Many studies have demonstrated that hand, rotary and reciprocating files are incapable of completely removing all filling material from the root canal during retreatment procedures (Somma et al 2008). This is regardless of whether the root canal is straight (Marfisi et al 2010, Crozeta et al 2016, Canali et al 2019, Delai et al 2019), oval (Bago et al 2019, De‐Deus et al 2019a) or curved (Marfisi et al 2015, Crozeta et al 2016). According to several studies, approximately 10–49% of root canal walls remain uninstrumented as a result of rotary and reciprocating instrumentation (Gambill et al 1996, Siqueira et al 2013, Zhao et al 2014, Drukteinis et al 2019, De‐Deus et al 2019b).…”

Aim To compare the retreatment ability of several rotary and reciprocating file systems in curved root canals of extracted teeth and to evaluate the influence of additional apical enlargement performed after a basic retreatment on the amount of remaining filling material. Methodology A total of 65 round curved root canals were used. The root canals were prepared with the ProTaper Next rotary system to size 25, .06 taper and filled with an epoxy resin‐based sealer and gutta‐percha using continuous wave vertical compaction and warm injection back‐filling. The canals were randomly divided into four groups according to the retreatment system used: Group I. ProTaper Universal Retreatment system + ProTaper Gold (PTG) instrumentation system up to PTG F2; Group II. Reciproc Blue system up to the instrument RB25; Group III. Reciproc system up to the instrument R25; Group IV. Wave One Gold (WOG) system up to the instrument WOG25. After the basic retreatment, additional apical enlargement was performed in each group with an instrument that was one size larger: in Group I, II and III up to apical size 40, and in Group IV up to 35. The final irrigation protocol included the following: 15% ethylenediaminotetraacetic acid followed by NaOCl irrigation. The volume of filling material was measured using an industrial micro‐CT four times: after root canal filling (Volume I), after basic retreatment with size 25 files (Volume II), after additional root canal enlargement with larger instruments (Volume III), and after the final irrigation protocol (Volume IV). The decrease in the amount of filling material after each retreatment protocol was analysed using a Kruskal–Wallis test. Intergroup analyses were performed with a Kruskal–Wallis test and between‐group differences were further analysed with Mann–Whitney U test. Results There were no significant differences amongst the systems tested in the amount of remaining filling material, or the reduction rates after each phase of the retreatment procedures (P > 0.05). Intragroup analysis indicated that the use of a larger final instrument removed significantly more filling material in all groups (P < 0.001). Conclusion The four tested instrumentation systems were equally effective in removing filling materials from curved root canals in extracted teeth. Additional apical enlargement with larger files improved the removal of filling remnants after basic retreatment.

Effectiveness of Reciproc Blue in removing canal filling material and regaining apical patency

Abstract: Both M-Wire Reciproc and Reciproc Blue instruments were effective in removing filling materials from oval-shaped straight canals. Apical patency was reestablished in all specimens.
