“…The tip diameters are 0.21, 0.23, 0.26, 0.29 and 0.34 mm, which do not conform to the ISO diameters of endodontic instruments (Moreinos et al . ). The main difference between these instruments and rotary NiTi instruments is that they do not cut into dentine; rather, they abrade/scrape the dentinal walls.…”

“…Surprisingly, only one study has been published on the Gentlefile system (Moreinos et al . ), and the efficacy of Gentlefile in root canal debridement, compared with rotary NiTi instruments, has not been evaluated thus far; there were no reports on root canal debridement when using the Finisher GF Brush.…”

“…Gentlefile (MedicNRG, Kibbutz Afikim, Israel) is a novel rotary instrumentation system fabricated using SS (Moreinos et al 2016). The files of this system consist of a central braided cable of diameter <0.15 mm in the apical third, on which a second wire with diameter <0.20 mm is coiled.…”

“…Rotary systems that use a reduced number of instruments, such as Revo-S (MicroMega, Besançon, France) and ProTaper Next (Dentsply/Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) -fabricated of conventional NiTi and M-Wire, respectively, are available on the market [7]. The primary purpose of these systems is to simplify endodontic treatment since few instruments are required to perform root canal preparation [7]. However, due to the reduced number of instruments used, a proper glide path must be created before rotary instruments action, to ensure their free advance along the entire length of the root canal [8][9][10].…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of glide path creation on transportation promoted by NiTi and M-Wire instruments. Material and Methods: Sixty polyester resin blocks containing a simulated root canal were distributed into four groups (n=15), according to the protocols/systems used for root canal preparation: GPR group - glide path + Revo-S system; R group - no glide path + Revo-S system; GPPN group - glide path + ProTaper Next system and PN group - no glide path + ProTaper Next system. Root canals were photographed before and after preparation, and the images were superimposed to evaluate the transportation at the apical, middle and coronal thirds. The time spent to perform preparation was also measured (seconds). Data were submitted to the non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis test (p<0.05) for statistical analysis. Results: In the apical third, there was no significant difference among groups (p>0.05). GPR and R groups were similar in the middle third (p>0.05). However, the transportation value in GPR group was statistically higher in comparison with GPPN and PN groups (p<0.05). In the coronal third, GPR and R groups were similar (p>0.05). Only R group presented significant difference in comparison with GPPN and PN groups (p<0.05). There was no difference among groups about time spent to perform preparation (p>0.05). Conclusion: None of the systems were capable of maintaining the original trajectory of the simulated root canal, and the glide path had no effect on the transportation promoted by instruments.KeywordsDental instruments; Endodontics; Root canal preparation.
