Objectives: Taper is a factor that determines final root canal dimensions and consequently, the space available for the cleaning action of irrigants. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the influence of taper on intracanal bacterial reduction.
Methods: Sterilized root canals of 25 mandibular incisors were inoculated with and then divided into two experimental groups and one control group (A= saline, B= NaOCl + EDTA and C= control, not prepared).
