This study aimed to compare the diameter of sizes 25/.06, 30/.05, 35/.04, 40/.04 and 25/.07 main gutta-percha point of MTwo®system in relation to their corresponding nickel-titanium instruments. Material and methods: For this purpose, the measurements of both the main gutta-percha points and their corresponding instruments were obtained with the aid of a caliper at the positions D1, D3 and D11. Twenty points and six instruments of each size were used. Results: Data were subjected to student t test, with a significance level of 5%. It could be observed that there was a variation in the diameter of the gutta-percha points in relation to the diameter of the instruments. At D1 and D3, size 25/.07 points had diameters significantly higher than their respective instruments. At D11, sizes 25/.06, 25/.07, 30/.05 and 35/.04 points also had significantly higher diameters. For size 40/.04 point, there were no statistically significant differences between the point and instrument diameters. Conclusion:Most of the main gutta-percha points of MTwo® system analyzed in this study showed significantly greater diameters than those of their corresponding instruments. Only the size 40/.04 points did not present significant differences in diameter compared with their corresponding instrument.
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.
