“…D1 and Dmc represent the apical region and area of maximum curvature, areas that are particularly vulnerable to iatrogenic mishaps (24,25). Results in the present study showed that glide path enlargement with stainless steel K-files was less centered than the NiTi rotary glide path file groups at all levels examined.…”
Highlights• Micro-CT comparisons of centering ability and apical canal transportation of 3 glide path enlargement techniques in curved root canals of extracted mandibular molars.• K-files were least centered and caused more transportation.• ProGlider displayed superior centering ability.• ProGlider and G-Files caused significantly less transportation than K-files.

The shaping ability of the BR, PTN and GN NiTi file systems was equally effective. All instrumentation systems prepared curved root canal systems with no evidence of undesirable changes in 3D parameters or significant shaping errors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
