Introduction: The purpose of this study was to compare the shaping properties of TRUShape and Reciproc systems during preparation of oval-shaped canals from contralateral teeth by using micro-computed tomography scanning.
Methods: Thirteen pairs of freshly extracted contralateral mandibular premolars with a single oval-shaped canal were selected and divided into 2 groups according to the root canal instrumentation technique, TRUShape and Reciproc. The final apical size of instrumentation was 40/.06 for both systems. Data were statistically analyzed for the increase in canal volume and surface area and the amount of unprepared areas promoted by the 2 systems.
Results: Preparation with both systems significantly increased the volume and area of the canals (P < .001), with no significant differences between them (P > .05). When the full canal length was evaluated, the amount of uninstrumented areas was significantly larger for Reciproc (30%) than TRUShape (24%) (P < .05). However, analysis restricted to the apical 4-mm segment revealed no statistically significant difference in untouched areas (25% for Reciproc and 20% for TRUShape) (P > .05).
Conclusions: Both instrument systems behaved similarly in promoting the increase of root canal volume and surface area. When the full canal length was evaluated, TRUShape instruments showed less unprepared areas than Reciproc. However, this difference did not occur for the apical part of the root canal. None of the techniques could completely prepare oval-shaped root canals.

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate six files on the pericervical dentin (PCD) and the smallest dentin thickness zones (SDTZ) in mesial root canals of mandibular molars.
Materials And Methods: Sixty mandibular molars with two mesial canals and Vertucci configuration were aleatory allocated in 6 experimental groups of 10 molars and 20 root canals. Specimens were scanned before instrumentation using the SkyScan 1275 (Bruker microCT, Kontich, Belgium).

The aim of this study was to compare four different instrument kinematics in oval canals. Distal root of sixty extracted first mandibular molars with single oval canal were allocated randomly to four groups (n = 15) namely protaper universal [PTU] (Rotary), self-adjusting file [SAF] (Adaptive), TruShape [TS] (Rotary) and WaveOne [WO] (Reciprocating). The percentage of untouched and touched surfaces of the root canal was evaluated using micro-computed tomography (MCT).

Objective: This study compared the quantity of extruded debris after instrumentation with TRUShape 3D Conforming files, TruNatomy files, and the WaveOne Gold reciprocating system.
Materials And Methods: Fifty-one mesiobuccal canals with severe curvatures (25-40°) were assigned to three equal groups according to the rotary system used for preparation, either TRUShape, TruNatomy, or WaveOne Gold files. The extruded debris was collected in pre-weighed glass vials.

Aim: To compare the shaping ability of a heat-treated centric reciprocating file system (WaveOne Gold), a heat-treated eccentric rotary multifile system (TRUShape 3D Conforming Files), and a heat-treated expandable one-file rotary system (XP-endo Shaper) extending its activation time, in preparing oval-shaped root canals in extracted mandibular molars by means of microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis.
Methodology: Thirty moderately curved oval-shaped distal roots of mandibular molars were selected. The normality of canal length, curvature angle, volume, surface area, structure model index, and aspect ratio were confirmed.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the shaping ability of the TruShape and Reciproc Blue systems and the apical extrusion of debris after root canal instrumentation. The ProTaper Universal system was used as a reference for comparison.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-three mandibular premolars with a single canal were scanned using micro-computed tomography and were matched into 3 groups ( = 11) according to the instrumentation system: TruShape, Reciproc Blue and ProTaper Universal.
