ABSTRACT

AIM:

To evaluate the behaviour of the XP-Endo Finisher and the variation in the intracanal temperature of the irrigant at rest and when activated over time.

METHODOLOGY:

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) determined the transformation temperatures of XP-Endo Finisher instruments. A digital thermocouple was used to measure the temperature of the irrigant inside the pulp chamber. Two measurements were performed for each tooth (n = 12) with the irrigant at rest and during XP-Endo agitation for 60 s to observe the temperature evolution. The data were statistically analysed using a t-test with a confidence level of 95%.

RESULTS:

DSC results suggested that the XP-Endo Finisher had a mixed R-phase and austenitic structure at room temperature. The temperature values at predetermined time points (0, 10, 40, 70, 120 and 240 s) were measured, and no statistical difference was observed between the values of the resting and activated solutions at any of the selected points (p > .05). For the protocol performed with the XP-Endo file, the mean irrigant temperature observed at instrument insertion inside the root canal was 28.65°C. After 60 s of agitation, the temperature was 34.02°C. The solution temperature stabilized inside the canal only after 211 s at 35.5°C. The mean maximum irrigation solution temperature recorded inside the canal was 35.5°C without agitation and after XP-endo agitation (p > .05).

CONCLUSIONS:

Although the XP-Endo Finisher system does not promote heating of the irrigation solution, file expansion responsible for improved instrument cleaning starts at a temperature below the expected value.
