Background/aim: To compare apically extruded debris using ProTaper Universal (PTU), ProTaper Next (PTN), WaveOne (WO), Twisted File (TF), M-Two (MT), and Revo-S (RS) after determining the working length (WL) with root ZX.

Materials And Methods: Seventy-two teeth were selected. The WL determination was performed with root ZX. The teeth were divided into six experimental groups, randomly. In groups, root canals were prepared with PTU to size F4/0.06, with PTN to size X4/0.06, with WO to size 40/0.08, with TF to size 40/0.04, with MT to size 40/0.06, and with RS to size AS40/0.06. After preparations were completed, final irrigation was performed with 2 mL distilled water, and a total of 10 mL of distilled water was used in each tooth. Tubes were stored in an incubator at 68°C for 5 days to evaporate the distilled water before weighing the dry debris. Data were analyzed by the Mann-Whitney U-test.

Results: The RS group led to the highest amount of extruded debris, however, WO led to the least amount of extruded debris. There was no statistically difference among the groups (P > 0.05).

Conclusions: The authors conclude that the results obtained might depend on the apex locator used to determine the WL.

Aims And Background: Failure of the endodontic treatment might be due to various reasons like zipping, apical blockade, ledging, debris extrusion, etc. Apical debris extrusion in primary teeth is of major concern as it does not have a proper well-developed apex, that is, mature apex. This study aims to compare and evaluate the apical debris extrusion in primary molars using three different pediatric rotary file system.

Background: Periapical extrusion of debris for root retreatment will effectively improve the posttreatment inflammation and pain. The aim of this study was to investigate the extruded debris for root retreatment using XP shaper and ProTaper files.

Materials And Methods: In his experimental laboratory study, 40 extracted human maxillary molars were used in this laboratory study.

: Apical extrusion of debris can affect the success of endodontic treatments, and the specific performance of certain retreatment systems has not been studied yet. Therefore, the aim of this in vitro study was to quantitatively assess the amount of apically extruded debris produced during retreatment procedures using three rotary NiTi retreatment systems in mature non-resorbed straight roots. : Thirty extracted permanent human teeth with single straight roots were selected.

Introduction: This study evaluated and compared the amount of apically extruded debris, unprepared wall surface areas, and dentinal crack formation resulting from root canal preparation using ProTaper Next (PTN), ProTaper Ultimate (PTU), and R-Motion (RM) file systems.

Methods: Forty-five palatal roots of maxillary first molars were shortened to a uniform length of 12 mm. The samples were divided randomly into 3 groups (n = 15/group) to be prepared using either PTN, PTU, and RM file systems.

Objectives: To evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris and to determine the remaining filling material on the root canal walls by microcomputed tomography (micro-CT), following the root canal retreatment of root canals filled with different obturation techniques (single cone technique, thermoplasticised injection technique) and the different root canal sealers [bioceramic-based, epoxy resin-based root canal sealer].

Materials And Methods: 60 single rooted human premolar teeth were prepared with the ProTaper Gold system (Dentsply Maillefer) up to the F4 file and the samples were divided into 4 groups according to obturation procedures: Single cone technique + AH Plus sealer(epoxy resin-based root canal sealer, Dentsply International Inc., York, PA, USA); Single cone technique + Sure-Seal Root(bioceramic-based root canal sealer, Sure Dent Corporation, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea); thermoplastic injection technique[Calamus Dual Obturation System(Dentsply-Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK, USA)] + AH Plus(Dentsply International Inc.
