Comparison of the shaping characteristics of Neolix and Protaper Universal systems in preparation of severely-curved simulated canals

Abstract: BackgroundThe aim of this in vitro study was to compare the shaping characteristics of two types of nickel-titanium endodontic file systems with regard to the following parameters: Canal straightening, Canal deviation and Instrumentation time.Material and MethodsFifty severely curved canals simulated in resin blocks were prepared to an apical size 25 using Protaper Universal orNeolix systems (n=25 canals/group). The angle of canal curvature was determined before and after instrumentation. Pre- and post-operati… Show more

“…Typhoon and Vortex files caused more apical transportation than that by self-adjusting file; however, the differences found by them could be due to the use of resin blocks instead of extracted teeth (8). Similar results have been reported in other studies evaluating different rotary files with different techniques of measurement of canal transportation (23)(24)(25)(26). However, it is important to highlight that the differences found in some studies are due to the type of study design employed; in our study, we employed an in vitro design with extracted teeth.…”

“…ProTaper Universal is an index system and is the gold standard for comparison of new rotary les [4]. Its convex cross-section with a small U-shaped groove in each triangular convex blade has further added to its exibility and decreased the incidence of apical transportation [2].…”

“…Cross section of Neoniti is a homothetic rectangle, the built-in abrasive property of the flutes, hard cutting edges, circumferential brushing motion in the middle, coronal third and pecking motion in apical third, may have led to aggressive cutting and caused canal transportation. [ 31 ]…”
