Single file niti-rotary systems.

ABSTRACT

The cleaning and shaping of root canals is a major step in root canal treatment procedure, which aims at removal of all the tissue debris from the root canal space while removing the inner layers of root canal dentin. With Nickel titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments this goal is easier to achieve, even in curved root canals. The recently introduced Single file NiTi-rotary systems such as WaveOne, Reciproc, OneShape & F360 claim to be able to completely prepare and clean root canals with only one instrument. Use of single file rotary systems, are cost effective, time saving, reduce instrument fatigue and possible crosscontamination. The purpose of this article is to review single file Niti-Rotary systems for canal preparation.
