ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Curved mesial roots can be challenging for different stages of endodontic treatment. Preparation aims to enlarge, clean, and shape the root canal system, and hundreds of systems are available to carry it out. Aiming to maintain pericervical dentin, minimally invasive preparation was proposed, and with it, instruments with lower tapers emerged. This study aimed to evaluate the increase in canal volume, the centering ability of the instruments, and root canal transportation of two different rotary systems with lower tapers.METHODS:
Eighteen curved mesial roots of extracted mandibular molars were scanned by micro-CT at 3 moments initial and after the 2 stages of endodontic preparation. The canals were prepared using TruNatomy (TN) and ProDesign Logic 2 (PDL2) instruments up to sizes 25.04 and 26.04, respectively, and after 36.03 and 35.05, respectively. The data were analyzed using parametric and nonparametric tests with a significance level of 5%.RESULTS:
TN and PDL2 systems showed no difference regarding the increase in the volume of the canals with the first instruments, but after preparation with a diameter size of 35 or 36, there was a difference (P < .01) between the systems in the cervical and middle thirds.CONCLUSION:
Both systems shaped the mesial canals of mandibular molars while keeping low transportation and good centering ability in enlargements up to diameter size 35 or 36 with tapers of 3 or 5%.Palabras clave
