ABSTRACT

To evaluate the clinical effects of rotary nickel-titanium instruments Mtwo in root canal therapy in the aged patients. Using step-back technique,80 teeth with pulpal and periapical involvement were instrumented by Mtwo in the M group, and by K file in the K group. Mtwo could keep the original curvature and flow of the root canals. No transportation, apical blockage, ledge or perforation was found in the M group. There was more complications in the K group than in the M group.The operative time was shorter and posttreatment pain seldom occurred in the M group. With rotary NiTi instruments Mtwo for seniles' root canals treatment, root canals can be prepared effectively and quickly,and is worth of clinical application.
