RESUMO
A instrumentação dos canais radiculares através do uso de lima única em movimento recíproco vem se popularizando devido à redução do tempo de trabalho e menor tendência de fraturas dos instrumentos. Antes de escolher o sistema que vai utilizar, o cirurgião- -dentista deve conhecer as capacidades e limitações de cada sistema baseado em evidências científicas. Esse artigo realizou uma revisão de literatura sobre o movimento recíproco para instrumentação do sistema de canais radiculares apontando as vantagens e desvantagens da utilização dessa cinemática de instrumentação.
The canals instrumentation by using single file in reciprocation movement is gaining popularity due to the reduction of working time and less prone to fractures of the instruments. Before choosing which system will use, the dentist must know the capabilities and limitations of each system based on scientific evidence. This article reviews the literature on the reciprocation movement pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of this different kinematic instrumentation.

The degree of conversion of resin-based luting agents used for retention of prefabricated posts has been questioned due to the difficulty of light penetration into the resin-filled root canal. This study evaluated the depth of cure of a resin-modified glass ionomer cement (Rely X--3M ESPE) and two resin-based luting agents (Rely X ARC--3M ESPE and Enforce-Dentsply). Twenty-four 14x2x2mm3 specimens were prepared in a Teflon split mold with the three luting agents (n=8). After preparation, the specimens were stored at 37 degrees C in a dark box for 24 hours prior to microhardness testing. Measurements of Knoop hardness were performed at three different depths: superficial, medium and deep thirds. The results (KHN) were statistically analyzed by repeated measures ANOVA and Tukey test (0.05), which showed that resin-based luting agents presented the highest Knoop hardness values within the superficial third. Within the medium third, there were no significant differences among luting materials. However, within the deep third, Rely X presented the highest values. KHN values of resin-based luting agents decreased remarkably as depth increased.
