Aim: The aim is to investigate and compare the amount of apically extruded debris after root canal preparation using single rotary and reciprocating file system.

Materials And Methods: Forty single-rooted human mandibular premolars with straight canals were randomly assigned to four groups ( = 10). The root canals were instrumented according to the manufacturers' instructions using single-rotary file systems Hyflex EDM (HEDM), One Shape (OS) and single-reciprocating file systems Wave OneGold (WOG) and OneRECI (OR).

Aim: To assess the efficacy of 17% ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid and 7% maleic acid in the removal of 3 calcium hydroxide preparations placed as intracanal medicaments.

Materials And Methods: The root canals of 60 single rooted premolars were prepared with a step back technique and randomly assigned into 3 experimental groups (n= 20). Group A was filled with plain calcium hydroxide mixed with distilled water in which barium sulfate was added for radio opacity, Group B was filled with Apexcal and Group C was filled with Metapex.
