RESUMO
Aims: The aim was to evaluate the cyclic and torsional fatigue resistance among thermally treated NiTi rotary instruments with different design features.Materials and methods: Sixty instruments of three systems were used (n=20): TruNatomy 26.04 (TN 26.04), BassiLogic 25.05 (BL 25.05), and Flat File 25.04 (FF 25.04). The cyclic fatigue test (n=10) was performed to evaluate the time to fracture (s) and the number of cycles until failure (NCF). The torsion test was performed to evaluate the torque (N.cm) and maximum angular deflection until fracture (n=10). The fracture surface of each fragment was examined under a scanning electron microscope. The data were analyzed by Tukey's test (p<0.05).Results: BL 25.05 and FF 25.04 instruments had a higher number of cycles and time to fracture compared with TN 26.04 (p<0.05). TN 26.04 instruments showed lower torque to fracture.Conclusions: Based on the proposed objectives and the methodology used, TruNatomy 26.04 instruments present lower resistance to cyclic fatigue and torsional fatigue when compared to BassiLogic 25.05 and Flat File 25.04 instruments.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: To analyse the changes in surface and nickel ion release characteristics of fractured root canal shaping instruments in a simulated body fluid environment. METHODS: A total of 54 new instruments were studied. The instrument groups consisted of five different NiTi alloys and a stainless-steel alloy. To standardize instrument fracture, a torsional type of failure was created on each instrument. The fractured specimens of each instrument group were randomly divided into three static immersion subgroups of 1 h, 7-day, and 30-day (n = 3). Simulated body fluid (SBF) was prepared to mimic human blood plasma by Kokubo&Takadama protocol for ex situ static immersions at 37ºC. The surfaces were examined via scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. To determine the quantitative ion release, the retrieved SBFs were analyzed using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. Two-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc tests sought the statistical significance of the nickel ion values(p < 0.05). RESULTS: In 1 h of immersion, the newly formed structures, exhibiting mostly oxygen signals, were widespread and evident on NiTi surfaces. In contrast, fewer structures were detected on the SS surface in that subgroup. In 7 days of immersion, a tendency for a decrease in the density of the new structures was revealed in NiTi groups. The oxygen signals on NiTi group surfaces significantly increased, contrary to their decrease in SS. Signals of sodium, chlorine, and calcium were detected, indicating salt precipitates in groups. In 30 days of immersion, salt precipitates continued to form. The Ni-ion release values in all instrument groups presented significant differences in comparison to the SBF control in all immersion periods(p < 0.001). No significant differences were observed in immersion time periods or instrument groups(p > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Within the limitations of the presented study, it was concluded that the fractured SS and NiTi root canal instruments release Ni ions in contact with body fluid. However, the Ni ion release values determined during the observation periods are lower than the critical toxic or allergic thresholds defined for the human body. This was due to the ionic dissolution cycle reaching a stable state from 1-hour to 30-day exposure to the body fluid of fractured instruments.

OBJECTIVE: This systematic review/meta-analysis investigated the influence of NaOCl on cyclic fatigue resistance of endodontic NiTi instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic search until July 2022 in PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, Cochrane Library, and grey literature was conducted. According to the PECOS strategy, only in vitro studies evaluating the effects of NaOCl on the cyclic fatigue resistance of NiTi instruments were eligible. Cyclic fatigue resistance was the primary outcome. A modified Joanna Briggs Institute's Checklist was used for risk of bias assessment. RESULTS: Of the 2,445 records screened, 37 studies were included. Most studies used simulated canals made of stainless-steel block with severe to moderate curvatures. NaOCl concentration varied from 1-6%, mainly at 37 °C. Regarding fatigue resistance, 23 studies using 1.2% to 6% NaOCl showed a reduction in the resistance compared to the control groups, especially when pre-heated. Four meta-analyses were performed according to the tested NiTi systems. The meta-analyses indicated that the PTU F2 files had higher reduction of fatigue resistance after exposure to 5.25% NaOCl; no differences between NaOCl and no immersion were observed for Reciproc R25, WaveOne 25.08, and WaveOne Gold Primary files. Included studies had low risk of bias. CONCLUSION: NaOCl appears to reduce cyclic fatigue resistance of certain NiTi files, especially when they are pre-heated, particularly in conventional NiTi files compared to some heat-treated instruments. It is possible that the temperature of the solution may have a greater influence on resistance than NaOCl itself. Important to note that an overall tendency toward no significant influence was observed among various systems. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Precautions are necessary when a pre-heated high-concentration NaOCl is used to enhance its properties during root canal preparation, mainly using conventional wire.

NiTi endodontic instruments for glide path are the most susceptible to fractures inside the root canal, mainly as a result of high torsional stress. Objective: The present study investigated the resistance to torsion and angular deflection of instruments destined for the glide path: ProGlider #16.02; T-File #17.02 and the MK Life #16.02. Materials and methods: Thirty rotating NiTi glide path instruments (n=10) with 25mm lengths were selected. The torsion test was performed based on ISO 3630-01 (1992). Three millimeters from the tip of the instruments, it was attached to a small load cell by a lever arm connected to the torsion shaft. Torsional strength and angular deflection were evaluated. Fracture surfaces were examined by scanning electron microscopy with magnifications of 1000x and 5000x in the cross section, and 50x in the lateral section. Statistical analysis was performed using the Kruskal-Wallis H test, followed by the Down's post hoc test. Results: The ProGlider instrument showed greater torsional strength (p<0.05) compared to the T-File (p<0.05) and MK Life (p<0.05), respectively. However, the T-File showed greater angular deflection (p<0.05) than the other groups tested. Conclusion: It can be concluded that the ProGlider instrument presented greater torque for the fracture, while the T-File instrument presented greater angular deflection.
RESUMO
This study aimed to find appropriate nickel-titanium instruments for lingual canals in mandibular first premolars with two canals. Forty-two extracted mandibular first premolars with lingual canals (Vertucci type V) verified by micro-CT scanning were selected. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups, and their lingual canals were instrumented by M3, HyFlex CM and XP-endo Shaper, respectively. After instrumentation, the canal morphology was scanned again by micro-CT. The canal morphologies of pre- and post-instrumentation were reconstructed and aligned. Morphological changes of the lingual canals were evaluated. No instrument breakages occurred during the procedure of root canal instrumentation. HyFlex CM and XP-endo Shaper performed better than M3 files in preparation of lingual canals (Vertucci type V) of mandibular first premolars in terms of apical transportation and unprepared surface area.

Instruments' mechanical strength and flexibility are traditionally tested by running cyclic fatigue, torsional, bending, buckling, and microhardness tests. Several cyclic fatigue test models have been used in endodontics, all capable of providing a curved trajectory for the instrument to rotate. Cyclic fatigue testing allows the identification of conditions that may affect the fatigue strength outcomes, such as the canal radius and degree of curvature, handpiece static versus dynamic motions, test temperature, kinematics, instrument previously wear and sterilization cycles, or instrument's size and metal alloy features. Because of the international test specifications for both torsional and bending tests, the variations of their models are not as many as for cyclic fatigue. These tests have also identified conditions capable of affecting the outcomes, such as kinematics, instruments' preloading, cross-sectional diameters, or alloy heat treatments. Buckling and microhardness are less common, with the metal alloy being considered to have a major influence on the results. Instruments' mechanical testing, having all these individual conditions as independent variables, allowed the understanding of them and molded the way the technical procedures are performed clinically. Even though the artificiality and simplicity of these tests will hardly mimic real working situations, and independent of being capable of producing cornerstone knowledge, these tests are also associated with inconsistency, a lack of reproducibility, and low external validity. Several attempts have been made to increase the generalizability of the outcomes by adding test settings that intend to mimic the clinical condition. Although pertinent, these settings may also add variabilities inherent to their concepts and practical applications in the laboratory environment. Although the actual studies should be seen as laboratory mechanical tests that measure very specific parameters under very particular conditions and that by far do not mimic the clinical condition, the lower validity drawback seems to be possible to be minimized when achieving a comprehensive understanding of the instrument behavior. A finite element method and/or a multimethod research approach may lead to superior data collection, analysis, and interpretation of results, which when associated with a reliable confounding factor control and proper study designs may be helpful tools and strategies in order to increase the reliability of the outcomes.

Objectives: This systematic review (register-osf.io/wg7ba) compared the efficacy and safety of rotary and reciprocating kinematics in the removal of filling material from curved root canals. Materials and Methods: Only in vitro studies evaluating both kinematics during retreatment were included. A systematic search (PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and other databases, until January 2021), data extraction, and risk of bias analysis (Joanna Briggs Institute checklist) were performed. Efficacy in filling removal was the primary outcome. Results: The search resulted in 2,795 studies, of which 15 were included. Efficacy was measured in terms of the remaining filling material and the time required for this. Nine studies evaluated filling material removal, of which 7 found no significant differences between rotary and reciprocating kinematics. Regarding the time for filling removal, 5 studies showed no difference between both kinematics, 2 studies showed faster results with rotary systems, and other 2 showed the opposite. No significant differences were found in apical transportation, centering ability, instrument failure, dentin removed and extruded debris. A low risk of bias was observed. Conclusions: This review suggests that the choice of rotary or reciprocating kinematics does not influence the efficacy of filling removal from curved root canals. Further studies are needed to compare the kinematics safety in curved root canals.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of a contracted endodontic cavity (CEC) on dentin preservation, biomechanical property, and instrumentation efficacy of first permanent molars in comparison with a traditional endodontic cavity (TEC). METHODS: Forty-eight extracted intact maxillary and mandibular first molars were selected and scanned by micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) imaging. Each tooth type was anatomically matched and assigned to the CEC group or the TEC group (n = 12). After root canal instrumentation with the ProGlider (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and WaveOne Gold (Dentsply Maillefer), the specimens were scanned by micro-CT again. Pre- and postpreparation micro-CT imaging was used to evaluate the dentin preservation and instrumentation efficacy. The results on volume and thickness reduction in the coronal dentin and pericervical dentin (PCD), root canal volume and surface area, percentage of unprepared surface area, canal transportation and centering ratio, and canal wall thickness in the "danger zone" were measured and analyzed with the Shapiro-Wilk and independent sample t tests. Based on micro-CT imaging of maxillary and mandibular first molars, CEC and TEC models were constructed on the intact tooth, and 2 different static loads were applied to the occlusal load points. The stress distribution patterns and von Mises stress on the occlusal surface and cervical region were assessed by 3-dimensional finite element analysis. RESULTS: The CEC had a significantly lower volume and thickness reduction of coronal dentin and PCD above the alveolar crest compared with the TEC group (P < .05), whereas no difference was observed in PCD below the alveolar crest between the 2 groups (P > .05). There was no difference regarding all instrumentation efficacy outcomes (root canal volume and surface area, percentage of unprepared surface area, canal transportation and centering ratio, and canal wall thickness) in the danger zone between the 2 groups (P > .05). The CEC effectively reduced the maximum von Mises stress and stress concentration area on the occlusal surface and cervical region compared with the TEC. CONCLUSIONS: The CEC preserved more coronal dentin and PCD above the alveolar crest and thus reduced stress concentration on the occlusal surface and cervical region. The CEC had no significant adverse effects on the instrumentation efficacy compared with the TEC given that the instrumentation procedures were performed with ProGlider and WaveOne Gold files.

OBJECTIVES: The aims of this study are (i) to propose specific selection criteria related to NiTi instruments for dental practitioners and (ii) to objectively assess the NiTi instruments. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The steps of the methodology are as follows: Step 1: "Delphi method" was employed to reach a consensus on criteria defined according to the literature review and a group of panelists. Step 2: "Smart pairwise comparisons" were employed to rank the proposed criteria. Step 3: "Borda voting" was employed to determine the weights of the proposed criteria. Step 4: To determine assessment scores, "Simple Additive Weighting" was employed. Step 5: Reliability and validity checks were made by "simulation." RESULTS: Specific criteria classified under dimensions were proposed and weighted for the NiTi instrument assessment. In this context, an assessment model was proposed and validated. CONCLUSIONS: The proposed assessment model for NiTi instruments could aid to make the decision-making process as systematic, transparent, and reproducible as possible not only for dental practitioners but also for healthcare professionals. Also, this proposed model can represent a reference framework for further MCDM studies which can rank or classify materials in medical science. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The model proposed in this study can be used to aid decision-making in clinical practice by means assessing the NiTi instrumentation system alternatives for practitioners.

AIM: The aim of this systemic review is to investigate these parameters by analyzing the characteristics of fractured instruments to determine which is the most relevant mechanical stress that induces intracanal separation in vivo. BACKGROUND: The fracture of nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments is a result of flexural fatigue and torsional fatigue. An electronic search was conducted in MEDLINE database, Web of Science, and Cochrane following preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Data were collected and the key features from the included studies were extracted. Overview quality assessment questionnaire scoring assessed the quality of the articles. A total of 12 articles were selected, where the lowest score was 13. REVIEW RESULTS: Considering Ni-Ti rotary instruments, this overall evaluation comprehends 939 broken instruments with an incidence of fracture of 5%. Out of the 12 selected articles, 10 studies revealed that flexural failure was the predominant mode (range of 62-92%). It appears that motion plays an important role when it comes to mechanisms of fracture. The majority of defects found in hand-operated instruments were in the form of torsional failure. Although the major cause of separation of rotary instruments is flexural fatigue, smaller instruments show more torsional fracture than the larger instruments. The average fragment length was found to be 2.5 mm and 3.35 mm, respectively, for torsional failure and flexural failure. The risk of bias depends on fractographic analysis. CONCLUSION: Flexural fatigue is the predominant mode of fracture in rotary Ni-Ti instruments. The type of motion and size of the instrument seem to affect the mechanism of fracture. Fragment length may show a strong association with the type of fracture mechanism. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: This systemic review found that flexural fatigue is the most relevant mechanical stress that induces intracanal separation in vivo. Moreover, in clinical practice, the fragment length might be an excellent indicator of the type of fracture.

This study evaluated the cyclic fatigue resistance for six types of 25# NiTi instruments. A traditional manufacturing instrument, an M wire instrument, a gold treatment instrument, a controlled memory (CM) wire instrument, a CM wire instrument with electrical discharge machining (EDM), and an R-phase heat treatment instrument, were operated in the different curved artificial canals. The fracture time (FT) and number of cycles to fracture (NCF) of the NiTi instruments were higher at 45° angles and double-curvature canals than at 60° angles. Except for the instruments with gold technology and EDM technology, others showed the longest FT and the highest NCF at an 8 mm radius of curvature. Morphological characteristics of cyclic fatigue were exhibited on the cross-section and lateral view of fracture fragments. The use of M-wire, R-phase wire, CM-wire, gold technology, EDM technology, and reciprocating movement were beneficial to enhance the cyclic fatigue resistance of NiTi files.

INTRODUCTION: The present study aimed to clinically compare the incidence of postoperative pain after endodontic treatment of posterior teeth using the WaveOne Gold (WOG; Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and XP-endo Shaper (XPES; FKG Dentaire, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland) systems. METHODS: In a single-blind randomized clinical trial, 148 vital teeth with an indication for conventional endodontic therapy for prosthetic purposes were treated by 5 specialists following a preestablished protocol. All participants were unaware of the treatment they received. The teeth were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 74) according to the instrumentation system used (the WOG group and XPES group). The treatments were performed in a single session. The participants were asked to rate the intensity of postoperative pain on a visual analog scale (no pain, mild pain, moderate pain, and severe pain) after 24, 48, and 72 hours and 7 days. RESULTS: The incidence of postoperative pain was higher in the XPES group after 24, 48, and 72 hours compared with those in the WOG group (P < .05). Two participants in the WOG group experienced severe postoperative pain after 24 hours. None of the participants in either group reported pain after 7 days (P > .05, Mann-Whitney test). CONCLUSIONS: Postoperative pain is expected after preparation of the root canal system with the WOG and XPES systems tested, but it only persists for a short period. Although more common after the use of the XPES system, the pain was classified as mild at all time points.

Background. The main goal of our study was to assess the volume of dentin removed and transportation in root canals using ProTaper Universal (PTU), ProTaper Gold (PTG) and One-Curve (OC). Ni-Ti rotary instruments in extracted human teeth using by micro-CT. Methods: Thirty human upper 1st premolar teeth with two separate root canals and sturdy, mature root tips were used in the present study. Specimens were decoronated and root length was standardized for micro CT scanning before root canal preparation done. The teeth were randomly separated into three categories (n = 10) according to the rotary NiTi system used for canal instrumentation, i.e., PTU (Dentsply, Maillefer), PTG (Dentsply, Maillefer), and OC (Micro-Mega SA). After root canal preparation, samples were scanned again on micro-CT by the same scanning parameters. Surface area, canal volume, structure model index (SMI), percentage of uninstrumented area and transportation parameters were obtained for each sample before and after micro-CT analyse. Results: No significant differences between the PTG and PTU in terms of the total volume of removed dentin, surface area and percentage of uninstrumented areas were found. However, regarding to parameters above, OC showed a lower efficacy than PTG and PTU in coronal section. Regarding canal transportation, PTG and OC showed lower mean transportation values at all levels. Conclusion: This paper demonstrated the root canal shaping abilities of the PTU, PTG, and OC NiTi file systems. The PTG and OC systems were associated less canal transportation and a better ability to preserve dentinal walls than PTU. There was no significance different between all rotary file systems for SMI values however, PTU and PTG showed greater canal volume and surface area change than OC file systems in coronal section.
RESUMO
We aimed to analyze the morpho-geometric changes of the root canal system created by two rotary systems (TF Adaptive and BioRace) using micro-CT technology. Two concepts of rotary file system kinematics, continuous rotation and adaptive kinematics, were used in root canal preparation. Twenty mandibular molars (n = 20) were selected with the following criteria: the teeth have mesial roots with a single and continuous isthmus connecting the mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals (Vertucci's Type I configuration) and distal roots with independent canals. Teeth were scanned at a resolution of 14 µm. Canals were divided equally into two groups and then enlarged sequentially using the BioRace system and TF Adaptive system according to manufacturer protocol. Co-registered images, before and after preparation, were evaluated for morphometric measurements of canal surface area, volume, structure model index, thickness, straightening, and un-instrumented surface area. Before and after preparation, data were statistically analyzed using a paired sample t-test. After preparation, data were analyzed using an unpaired sample test. The preparation by both systems significantly changed canal surface area, volume, structure model index, and thickness in both systems. There were no significant differences between instrument types with respect to these parameters (p > 0.05). TF Adaptive was associated with less straightening (8% compared with 17% for BioRace in the mesial canal, p > 0.05). Both instrumentation systems produced canal preparations with adequate geometrical changes. BioRace straightened the mesial canals more than TF Adaptive.
RESUMO
AIM: The purpose of this study is to evaluate and compare the incidence of dentinal defects after root canal shaping using rotary nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) instruments (ProTaper Gold [PTG] and ProTaper Next [PTN]) and reciprocating instrument (WaveOne Gold [WOG]). MATERIALS AND METHODS: One hundred human mandibular premolars with single root and single canal with canal curvature <10° were randomly divided into five groups (n = 20 teeth per group). The root canals were instrumented using hand K-files (positive control), full sequence rotary files PTG and PTN, and reciprocating single-file system WOG. One group was left unprepared and served as negative control. Roots were sectioned horizontally at 3, 6, and 9 mm from the apex and evaluated under a stereomicroscope. RESULTS: PTG, WOG, and PTN showed dentinal defects in 40%, 53.3%and 30% of the samples, respectively. CONCLUSION: Irrespective of motion kinematics, dentinal defects are observed in all the Ni-Ti file groups. Within the limitations of the present study and the available literature, incidence of dentinal defects is less with instruments working in continuous rotation rather than instruments with reciprocating motion.
RESUMO
Introduction: Although micro-computed tomography (MCT) evaluation of the shaping ability of ProTaper Next (PTN) and Hyflex CM (HCM) files has been reported, to our knowledge, no study has assessed the performance of V-Taper 2H (VT) files. The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the shaping ability of PTN, HCM, and VT systems in the mesial canals of mandibular molars using MCT. Methods and Materials: Thirty extracted first and second mandibular molars were scanned using MCT and randomly assigned to HCM, PTN, and VT groups. Images obtained before and after preparation were evaluated for the increase in the root canal volume, untouched surface area, and amount of accumulated hard tissue debris. One-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Kruskal-Wallis test were used to compare the variables in the groups (α=5%). Results: There were no statistically significant between-group differences in the postoperative measurements (P>0.05). The canal volume increased in all three groups: PTN (73.84%), VT (73.48%), and HCM (49.29%). The largest and smallest untouched areas were observed in the PTN (41.37%) and VT (30.85%) groups, respectively (P>0.05). The debris formed during canal preparation was 1.84%, 2.16%, and 2.42% in the VT, PTN, and HCM groups, respectively (P>0.05). Conclusions: Based on our in vitro study, the PTN, HCM, and VT systems showed similar shaping abilities. None of the tested canals were completely free from debris, while the untouched surface area was considerably large. The VT system had the most favorable results with the smallest untouched surface area and least debris were. We would recommend further trials to endorse these findings.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: The hand and rotary instruments are used for cleaning and shaping of root canals during biomechanical preparation in primary teeth. AIM: To determine clinical differences of hand versus rotary root canal instrumentation in primary teeth. DESIGN: Comprehensive searches were made in four electronic databases [MEDLINE (via PubMed), EMBASE, Google Scholar, and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials] till March 2020, and prospective studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. The primary outcome was instrumentation time, whereas the secondary outcomes were quality of obturation, obturation time, and clinical and radiographic success. From 604 screened studies, eleven studies qualified for meta-analysis. The random-effect model and generic inverse variance approach were used for meta-analysis. RESULTS: There was significant decrease in instrumentation time [MD-5.00 minutes (95% CI: 3.05-6.94), P < .00001, moderate evidence quality] and obturation time [MD-0.43 minutes (95% CI: 0.15-0.71), P = .003, low evidence quality] with rotary instrumentation. Optimal quality of obturation was achieved in significantly more number of teeth [risk ratio (RR) = 0.71(95% CI: 0.53-0.95),P = .02, moderate to high evidence quality] with rotary instrumentation. Similar clinical and radiographic success was observed in hand and rotary instrumentation techniques. CONCLUSION: Significant reduction in instrumentation time of five minutes was observed using rotary instrumentation with moderate quality evidence.

OBJECTIVE: This study evaluates whether endodontic cavity access into molars influences the chemomechanical preparation of curved root canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty mesiobuccal canals of maxillary molars were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n = 10), according to the type of endodontic access analyzed (conventional and minimally invasive). The preparations were made by a single operator, and the canals, after access, were prepared with Logic system (0.25, 0.04 taper) along the working length. Samples were scanned before and after canal preparation (SMX-90CT Plus (Shimadzu® microtomograph operated with 70 kV, 100 uA, FOV (XY) 13.3 mm, FOV (Z) 7.0 mm, and voxel size 0.013 mm/Pix)) to match canal volumes. Images were analyzed to evaluate surface areas, transport, and centralization at 3 mm from the canal entrance and 3 mm from the apex (OnDemand3DTM Dental software). Student's t test with a significance level of 5% was used for the statistical analysis. RESULTS: Regardless of the position of the analyzed canals, there was no difference in the prepared area regarding the transport and centralization of the endodontic instrument between the two types of cavity accesses performed. CONCLUSIONS: The conventional and minimally invasive access did not influence the action of the 0.25 and 0.04 taper instrument during the curved root canal preparation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The type of endodontic access did not influence the action of the rotary instrument during the curved root canal preparation.

Abstract This study evaluated the efficiency of using a single instrument from three different rotary multi-file systems and compared them with that of a reciprocating single-file for endodontic retreatment by means of micro-CT. Sixty extracted canines were prepared using a size F2 ProTaper Universal file and obturated. After 30 days of storage at 37ºC and 100% humidity, the teeth were randomly divided into four groups (n=15) based on the type of instrument used to retreatment: ProTaper Next (PTN), ProTaper Gold (PTG), TRUShape 3D (TS), and WaveOne (WO). The canals were retreated using only the size 40 instrument from each system according to the manufacturer's recommendations for torque and speed. The time required to remove the filling material was recorded in seconds. The amount of initial and residual filling material and the quantity of dentin removed were assessed by means of micro-CT. Data were statistically analyzed (ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis) at a 5% significance level. TS instruments required the highest (p<0.05) amount of time (mean, 384.80 ±144.92) compared with the WO (229.67±68.16) and PTG (248.67±64.22) and not so different from PTN instruments (327.67±133.3). No differences in the amount of dentin removed, initial and residual filling volume, and percentages of filling material were observed among the groups. The use of a single rotary instrument from the PTG, TS, and PTN systems was as effective as that of the single-file reciprocating WO system. However, none of the instruments was able to remove the filling materials completely.
Resumo Este estudo laboratorial avaliou por meio de micro-CT a eficiência do uso de um único instrumento de três sistemas rotatórios em retratamentos endodônticos, comparados a um instrumento único reciprocante. Sessenta caninos extraídos foram preparados usando o sistema ProTaper Universal (F2) e obturados. Após 30 dias de armazenamento a 37 ºC e 100% de umidade, os dentes foram divididos aleatoriamente em quatro grupos (n = 15), de acordo com o instrumento utilizado para remover as obturações endodônticas: ProTaper NEXT (PTN), ProTaper Gold (PTG), TRUShape 3D (TS) e WaveOne (WO). Os canais foram retratados usando apenas o instrumento tamanho 40 de cada sistema, seguindo as recomendações do fabricante para torque e velocidade. O tempo necessário para remover a obturação foi registrado em segundos. A quantidade de material remanescente e o volume de dentina removida foram avaliadas por meio de micro-CT. Análise estatística foi realizada (ANOVA e Kruskal-Wallis), com nível de significância de 5%. O tempo de trabalho no grupo TS foi significativamente maior (p<0.05) (média, 384,80 ± 144,92) comparado a WO (229,67 ± 68,16) e PTG (248,67 ± 64,22), e similar a PTN (327,67 ± 133,3). Não houve diferenças entre os grupos na quantidade de dentina removida e nas porcentagens de material obturador residual. O uso de apenas um instrumento rotatório dos sistemas PTG, TS e PTN foi tão eficaz quanto o do sistema WO reciprocante na remoção do material obturador. No entanto, nenhum dos instrumentos conseguiu remover completamente os materiais obturadores.
