ABSTRACT
This in vitro study compared, using computed tomography (CT), the amount of dentin removed from root canal walls by manual and mechanical rotary instrumentation techniques. Forty mandibular incisors with dental crown and a single canal were selected. The teeth were randomly assigned to two groups, according to the technique used for root canal preparation Group I - manual instrumentation with stainless steel files; Group II - mechanical instrumentation with RaCe rotary nickel-titanium instruments. In each tooth, root dentin thickness of the buccal, lingual, mesial and distal surfaces in the apical, middle and cervical thirds of the canal was measured (in mm) using a multislice CT scanner (Siemens Emotion, Duo). Data were stored in the SPSS v. 11.5 and SigmaPlot 2001 v. 7.101 softwares. After crown opening, working length was determined, root canals were instrumented and new CT scans were taken for assessment of root dentin thickness. Pre- and post-instrumentation data were compared and analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's post-hoc test for significant differences (p=0.05). Based on the findings of this study, it may be concluded that regarding dentin removal from root canal walls during instrumentation, neither of the techniques can be considered more effective than the other.
RESUMO
Este estudo in vitro avaliou comparativamente, por meio de tomografia computadorizada (TC), a quantidade de dentina removida das paredes do canal radicular utilizando-se as técnicas de preparo manual e automatizada de instrumentação rotatória. Foram selecionados 40 incisivos inferiores com coroa dental e um único canal. Os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em 2 grupos, de acordo com a técnica empregada para o preparo dos canais radiculares Grupo I - técnica manual com limas manuais de aço inoxidável e Grupo II - técnica automatizada de movimentos rotatórios RaCe com limas de níquel-titânio. Em cada dente, procedeu-se à mensuração (em mm) da espessura da dentina radicular nas faces vestibular, lingual, mesial e distal dos terços apical, médio e cervical por meio de tomografia computadorizada multislice (Siemens Emotion, Duo). Os dados coletados foram armazenados utilizando-se os softwares SPSS versão 11.5 e SigmaPlot 2001 v. 7.101 (SPSS Inc.). Após a abertura coronária, o comprimento de trabalho foi estabelecido, os canais radiculares foram instrumentados e novas tomadas de tomografia computadorizada foram realizadas para mensuração da espessura das paredes dentinárias radiculares. Os dados obtidos antes e após o preparo biomecânico dos canais foram comparados. Os resultados foram estatisticamente por meio de análise de variância (ANOVA) com localização de diferenças post hoc de Tukey (p=0,05). Com base nos achados desse estudo, pode-se concluir que com relação à remoção de dentina das paredes dos canais radiculares durante a instrumentação nenhuma das técnicas avaliadas pode ser apontada como mais efetiva que a outra.
