ABSTRACT
Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of root canal preparation with single-file reciprocating systems at different working lengths on the development of apical microcracks using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) imaging. Forty extracted human mandibular incisors were randomly assigned to 4 groups (n=10) according to the systems and working length used to prepare the root canals Group A - WaveOne Gold at apical foramen (AF), Group B - WaveOne Gold 1 mm short of the AF (AF-1 mm), Group C - Unicone (AF) and Group D - Unicone (AF-1 mm). Micro-CT scanning was performed before and after root canal preparation at an isotropic resolution of 14 µm. Then, three examiners assessed the cross-sectional images generated to detect microcracks in the apical portion of the roots. Apical microcracks were visualized in 3, 1, 1, and 3 specimens in groups A, B, C, and D, respectively. All these microcracks observed after root canal preparation already existed prior to instrumentation, and no new apical microcrack was detected. For all groups, the number of slices presenting microcracks after root canal preparation was the same as before canal preparation. Root canal preparation with WaveOne Gold and Unicone, regardless of the working length, was not associated with apical microcrack formation.
RESUMO
Resumo O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar o efeito da instrumentação de canais radiculares utilizando sistemas reciprocantes de lima única em diferentes comprimentos de trabalho sobre o desenvolvimento de microfissuras apicais utilizando imagens de microtomografia computadorizada (micro-CT). Quarenta incisivos inferiores humanos extraídos foram distribuídos aleatoriamente em 4 grupos (n=10) de acordo com os sistemas e comprimentos de trabalho utilizados para preparar os canais radiculares Grupo A - WaveOne Gold no forame apical (FA), Grupo B - WaveOne Gold 1 mm aquém do FA (FA-1 mm), Grupo C - Unicone (FA) e grupo D - Unicone (FA-1 mm). Escaneamentos de micro-CT foram realizados antes e após o preparo dos canais a uma resolução isotrópica de 14 μm. Em seguida, três examinadores avaliaram as imagens de secção transversal geradas para detectar microfissuras na porção apical das raízes. Microfissuras apicais foram visualizadas em 3, 1, 1 e 3 espécimes nos grupos A, B, C e D, respectivamente. Todas essas microfissuras observadas após o preparo dos canais radiculares já existiam antes da instrumentação e não foi detectada nenhuma nova microfissura apical. Para todos os grupos, o número de cortes apresentando microfissuras após o preparo dos canais radiculares foi o mesmo verificado antes do preparo dos canais. A instrumentação de canais radiculares utilizando WaveOne Gold e Unicone, independentemente do comprimento de trabalho, não foi associada à formação de microfissuras apicais.
