“…8,9 In spite of offering many advantages, these instruments have limitations owing to their rotation kinematics, causing excessive preparation in some areas and leaving others untouched. 7,10 Thus, stainless steel systems have been developed, such as the Tilos system, which comprises six instruments that perform symmetric oscillatory movements with 30 degrees of amplitude.…”

“…11,12 Recently, two new systems were developed for use in reciprocating motion designed for single-file root canal preparation: Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany) and WaveOne (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). 9,13,14 These instruments are made of a new NiTi alloy called M-Wire, which gives more resistance to the file. Such reciprocating motion consists of a non-continuous rotary movement in a counterclockwise direction.…”

Root canal preparation is an important step in endodontic treatment. The anatomical complexity of the middle third of the root compromises the effective cleaning of this area. Thus, advances have been made in instrumentation techniques and instruments for this purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of three different instrumentation systems on the enlargement of the middle thirds of root canals in mandibular incisors. The preparation methods used were the reciprocating systems Reciproc (Group I) and WaveOne (Group II) and the oscillatory system Tilos (Group III). Comparisons were made by three-dimensional image reconstruction with cone-beam computed tomography before and after instrumentation. Changes in area, perimeter, centering ability, and pattern of preparation were analyzed. The results were subjected to ANOVA complemented by the Tukey's test. Changes in area, perimeter, and tendency of transportation showed similar results among groups. The transportation index of the Tilos system was significantly lower than that of the other groups. Qualitative analysis of the preparation pattern showed that the Tilos system had a more uniform preparation, although Reciproc and WaveOne preparations appeared more rounded, incompatible with the original canal anatomy. There was similarity in the systems' performance on flattened areas, although the Tilos system presented a better pattern of root canal preparation and a lower index of transportation.

Variations in the root canal's anatomy play an important role on endodontic therapy success, primarily in teeth with pulp necrosis. Traditionally, the preparation of root canals was performed with the use of stainless steel hand files; but over the years, new flexible instruments were introduced to prevent or minimize iatrogenic errors in shaping the root canal system. In most of recent publications, alternating rotation movements have been proposed as an alternative to continuous rotation in order to reduce the risk of fracture of the instrument and the root canal deformation. The aim of this article was to report a clinical case describing the simple way to perform the endodontic treatment of a maxillary premolar with three root canals, with the WaveOne reciprocating system.

“…This reciprocating motion has been shown to increase the number of cycles to failure when compared to continuously rotating instruments 14 and demonstrate significantly higher resistance to cyclic fatigue, 15 both of which increase the life of the instrument. Instrument design may also have an effect on increasing cyclic fatigue.…”
