Untouched canal areas and debris accumulation after root canal preparation with rotary and adaptive systems

Abstract: This study assessed the percentage of untouched canal areas and the amount of debris accumulation after canal preparation with ProTaper Next (PTN) and Twisted File Adaptive (TFA) systems using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) imaging. Twenty isthmus-containing mesial roots of mandibular molars were anatomically matched through micro-CT evaluation and randomly assigned to one of the two experimental groups (n = 10), according to the system used for canal preparation: PTN (X1 and X2 files using rotary motio… Show more

“…Micro-CT technology was the analytic tool used in this study. This nondestructive method is based on an imaging technology that has been considered the gold-standard experimental model to assess several outcomes of root canal treatment as it allows a longitudinal track of the same specimen at different time points (Paqu e et al 2009, De-Deus et al 2015, 2019b, Azim et al 2016, Leoni et al 2017, Lopes et al 2018). In addition, the micro-CT approach was used to standardize the sample selection, ensuring comparability of the experimental groups at the baseline regarding root canal morphology.…”

“…Regarding selection of the t ype of canal, Vertucci's classification for the evaluation of the root canal preparation showed the use of the Type I (single canal that extends from the pulp chamber to the apex) for incisors, 62 Type II (two canals that leave the pulp chamber and join near the apex to form a single canal), 43 and Type IV (two distinct and separate canals that extend from the pulp chamber to the apex) in mesial roots of mandibular molars. 12,14,40,44,45,47,97,101,104 Also, in mesial roots of mandibular molars, isthmus classification Type I (narrow sheet and complete connection existing between two canals) 128 or Type III (incomplete isthmus existing above or below a complete isthmus) 57,58 was seen.…”

“…This system was designed to permit switching from a continuous clockwise motion (when the instrument is not subjected to stress within the canal) to an interrupted reciprocation motion (when undue tensions are generated by dentin) during instrumentation. 37,44,45,47,53,54,55,56,57,58 There are also instruments designed with center of mass and/or center of rotation in offset that, in rotation, produce a mechanical wave that runs through the active part of the instrument. This results in improvement of the flexibility along the active part of the instrument and minimizes the instrument locking in the dentin, in addition to reducing the formation of debris.…”
