Cleaning Efficiency and Apical Transportation of Different Endodontic File Systems in Simulated Curved Root Canals

摘要

The incorrect use of the different endodontic file systems during endodontic treatment may produce unwanted procedural errors. The aim of this study was to evaluate on simulated curved root canal models the cleaning efficiency in three reference areas of the root canal and the apical transportation of the ProTaper (Dentsply Maillefer), K3XF(Sybron Endo) and HyFlex (Coltene Endo) systems compared to the hand K-files (Dentsply Maillefer). According to our results rotary file systems are more efficient than the hand files in cleaning root cancel.
