“…EDM is a non-contact thermal erosion process used to machine electrically conductive materials by means of precisely controlled electrical discharges. 16 According to the results in this study, the null hypothesis could be rejected. As statistically significant differences in the cyclic fatigue resistance were observed among the three evaluated files.…”

Objective: To compare the cyclic fatigue resistance of three Ni-Ti rotary files. Materials and Methods: A number of forty-five different nickel titanium rotary instruments (n = 15) were used in this study. All files were used according to their manufacturers' instructions. A specially designed, custom-made cyclic fatigue testing device was used in this study. The device had a simulated curved root canal within a stainless-steel block with a 45° angle of curvature and 5 mm radius of curvature. The time to fracture (TtF) in seconds was recorded visually using stopwatch. To characterize fracture mode, fractured fragments from each group were examined using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The collected data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and post-hoc Tukey multiple comparison test with a statistical significance at p < 0.05 to compare the values of time to fracture (TtF) between the tested groups. Results: When comparing the time to fracture among the tested instruments, One-way ANOVA test revealed that there was a statistically significant difference among the three NiTi instruments (p < 0.05). HyFlex EDM had the highest resistance to cyclic fatigue resistance. Scanning electron microscopy analysis showed that the fracture type of all instruments was ductile fracture. Conclusions: According to the results of this study, HyFlex EDM had the highest cyclic fatigue resistance among the Ni-Ti instruments.

“…The authors are unaware of any other study comparing the preparation times of these two files in order to compare results. Previous studies showed that rotary glide path files need less time than manual K-files [ 22 , 26 , 27 , 28 ], and single file systems for glide path preparation are faster than multiple instrument file systems [ 29 , 30 , 31 ].…”

Objectives: The article’s aim is to test if rotary or reciprocating glide path influences the overall performance of WaveOne Gold in S-shaped canals. Methods: Sixty endo training blocks with an S-shape curvature were divided into three groups based on the glide path method used: no glide path; glide path preparation with ProGlider; glide path preparation with WaveOne Gold Glider. All blocks were then shaped with WaveOne Gold Primary. The time for shaping, the incidence in reaching working length and the number of pecking motions were recorded. ANOVA with Turkey’s test was used, and the p-value was set to 0.05. Results: WaveOne Gold Primary reached working length faster in the control group when comparing total working times. No significant differences in the ability of the WaveOne Gold Primary to reach working length in all groups (p > 0.05). The mean number of pecking motions was higher in the control group compared to other groups. Conclusions: No significant differences in the time needed to achieve a glide path between Proglider and WaveOne Gold Glider. WaveOne Gold Primary can shape a double curved canal faster if a glide path is present but takes less time to reach length if it is the only file used. No difference in the ability to reach working length.

“…From the achieved articles, 8 articles were excluded [14,[19][20][21][22][23] since two studies were systematic review [19,21]. One study was an in vitro study which didn't follow the selection parameter and was excluded [14] and the remaining though being in vivo studies [20,22,23] were still not selected since the studies did not follow the strict selection parameters set for this review. Finally, four studies were selected to be included for this review [6][7][8][9].…”

Comparison of postoperative pain reduction using continuous rotation glide path system with other methods of glide path creation - a systematic review

2022

Objective: Various glide path preparation techniques have been introduced, providing easiness to the practitioners. Recent literature has shown that glide path preparation influences the levels of postoperative pain occurrence in individuals receiving endodontic therapy. This systematic review aims to compare the different glide path preparation system in reduction of postoperative pain. Material and Methods: Electronic databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Cochrane Library, LILACS, Google Scholar, and European PMC were searched for published articles until July 2020. The studies included were randomized control trial (RCT) studies published during this time frame with comparison of continuous glide path system with various other glide path systems in reducing postoperative pain. The studies were reviewed using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. The studies were reviewed independently by two reviewers who had assessed the included studies, extracted data and the quality using the Cochrane risk of bias assessment tool. Results: 544 studies were received from the initial search, 11 articles were included in full text appraisal, 4 studies were obtained for qualitative analysis. Mean VAS Scores showed an increased reduction of postoperative pain in continuous glide path treated individuals (1.90-0.20) compared to reciprocating glide path (2.00-0.50) and manual glide path (3.80-0.85). The consumptions of analgesics were seen to be as follows; Manual Glide Path > Reciprocating Glide Path > Continuous Glide Path. Three out of four studies showed an overall "high" risk of bias and another study showed an overall "unclear" bias. Conclusion: From the achieved results, continuous glide path with 5.25% NaOCl irrigation has shown better reduction of postoperative pain compared to other glide path systems. Individuals who had undergone manual glide path preparation showed higher incidence of postoperative pain compared to other systems. The consumption of analgesics was seen to be higher in manual glide path prepared individuals followed by reciprocating glide path and least being continuous glide path.
