RESUMENObjetivo: Medir el desprendimiento de calor a 1 y 6 mm del ápice con el sistema rotatorio ProTaper ® y la técnica manual biomecánica crown-down. Materiales y métodos: En este estudio de diseño experimental se utilizaron 52 premolares con un solo conducto, decoronados a 16 mm para ser preparados mediante la técnica manual mecánica crown-down y el sistema rotatorio ProTaper ® , a temperatura del medio oral (37°C). Se emplearon termocuplas tipo K adosadas a la superficie radicular externa a 1 y 6 mm del ápice y conectadas a termómetros digitales de presición para medir la temperatura final de preparación. Resultados: El mayor desprendimiento de calor se obtuvo con las fresas Gates Glidden # 2 y # 3 en la técnica manual mecánica crown-down, mientras que con el sistema ProTaper fueron los instrumentos F2 y F3 sin ser significativos. Conclusiones: La técnica de preparación manual mecánica crown-down y el sistema ProTaper ® , no generan variaciones de temperatura que puedan se lesivas para los tejidos perirradiculares.

ABSTRACTObjective: To measure the heat liberation at 1 and 6 mm from the apex when preparing the root canal system with the ProTaper ® rotary system or the manual crown-technique. Material and methods: This was an experimental investigation; 52 teeth with one root canal were prepared: 26 with ProTaper ® rotatory system and 26 with manual crown-down technique. They were decoronated at 16 mm, in order to prepare them with the crown-down technique and ProTaper ® rotary system at 37°C. Type K thermocouples were bonded to the root at 1 and 6 mm from the apex and plugged to digital thermometers, to measure the final instrumentation temperature. Results: The highest heat detachment was for Gates Glidden burs #2 and #3 in manual crown-down technique and ProTaper ® system F2 and F3, but these were no significant. Conclusions: Manual crown-down technique and ProTaper ® rotary system do not present heat detachment that can be harmful for the surrounding tissues.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
