The aim of this study was to compare the apical centring ability of incisal-shifted access (ISA) with that of traditional lingual access (TLA). Fifteen three-dimensional printed resin models were prepared from the computed tomography data for a human maxillary central incisor and divided into ISA (n = 7), TLA (n = 7) and control (n = 1) groups. After access preparation, these models were shaped to the working length using K-files up to #40, followed by step-back procedures. An apical portion of the model was removed at 0.5 mm coronal to the working length. Microscopic images of each cutting surface were taken to measure the preparation area and the distance of transportation. TLA created a larger preparation area than ISA (P < 0.05). The distance of transportation (mean ± standard deviation) was 0.4 ± 0.1 mm for ISA and 0.7 ± 0.1 mm for TLA (P < 0.05). Access cavity preparation has a significant effect on apical centring ability. ISA is beneficial to maintaining apical configuration.

To compare the shaping ability of Procodile and R6 Reziflow instruments used in reciprocating motion in severely curved root canals, assessed with micro-computed tomography (μCT). Fourteen extracted human mandibular first molars were randomly assigned to two instrumentation techniques (n = 14 mesial root canals): Procodile or R6 Reziflow. For both groups, root canals were prepared to the working length up to a size 25, .

Background: During mechanical preparation of the primary root canal, the original anatomy of the tooth should be preserved and the instrument should be perfectly balanced centrally into the canal space for reducing the probability of canal transportation. The aim of this research was to compare canal transportation and canal centring ability in primary root canals using ProTaper Next (Dentsply Mailfair,), AF baby (Fanta), and Kidzo Elephant (Endostar, Poldent Sp.) files.

Aim: This study compared the shaping ability of four new reciprocating and rotary nickel-titanium instruments, with triangular or S-shaped cross-section, in the mesial canals of mandibular molars using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) evaluation.
Methodology: Twenty-four extracted mandibular molars with Vertucci's class IV configuration in the mesial root were selected for this study. The teeth were matched in fours according to anatomic similarities as revealed by micro-CT and then distributed into four groups of 12 mesial canals each according to the instrumentation technique: Reciproc Blue, R-motion, VDW.

Aim: To evaluate the effect of various rotational motions on the torque/force generation, surface wear, and shaping ability of the ProGlider glide path instrument (Dentsply Sirona).
Methodology: Mesiobuccal and mesiolingual canals of mandibular molars were selected based on the canal volume, length, angle of curvature (25°-40°), and radius of curvature (4-8 mm) after micro-computed tomographic scanning. The samples were randomly assigned to four groups (n = 13, each) according to movement kinematics [continuous rotation (CR; 300 rpm), optimum torque reverse motion (OTR; 180° forward and 90° reverse when torque >0.

The aim of the present study is to compare the efficacy of three root canal preparation systems in the shaping of 3D-printed root canal replicas of single rooted teeth. : Sixty 3D-printed root canal replicas were produced and divided into three groups, each consisting of twenty samples. Each group was shaped with a different instrument: Reciproc Blue R25/08 (VDW GmbH, Munich, Gemany), WaveOne Gold Primary 25/07 (Dentsply Sirona, Ballaigues, Switzerland), and ProTaper Gold F2 25/08 (Denstply Sirona).
