Abstract:Background. This study investigated the effects of solvent use and initial canal enlargement size on apically extruded debris (AED). Methods. The palatal roots of 60 upper molars were assigned to two groups based on the initial preparation size: F3 or F4 ProTaper Universal files. The roots were obturated using the single-cone technique. Each group was subdivided based on the retreatment procedures: with or without solvent. After evaporation, the Eppendorf tubes were weighed using an electronic balance. The dat… Show more
