Aim: This study set out to compare the damage done to dentin by three distinct titanium file brands - the Hyflex EDM, the ProTaper Next, and the Waveone Gold Nickel - in order to draw conclusions about which one is the most effective.

Materials And Methods: Forty-first premolars in the mandible with straight canals and single roots were instrumented using Hyflex EDM, Waveone Gold, and Protaper Next. Dentinal flaws after endodontic treatment were studied by sectioning specimens using a hard tissue microtome and analyzing them under a stereomicroscope.

Results: There was no discernible variation between the groups in the coronal third (p=0.312) or apical third (p=0.076). Hyflex EDM and Protaper Next differed significantly in the middle portion of the tape (p=0.016). The Hyflex EDM sample had the fewest cracks. There was no statistically significant difference between Hyflex EDM and Waveone Gold; however, Hyflex EDM had fewer fractures in the middle third of the sample than Waveone Gold did.

Conclusion: Electric discharge machining (EDM) files made from Hyflex proved to be far superior to their Protaper Next and Waveone Gold counterparts as they induced the fewest cracks in the middle third of the root dentin.

Introduction: This systematic review and meta-analysis assess the impact of the XP-endo Shaper (XPS) on postoperative pain following root canal treatment (RCTs) and compare its efficacy with other endodontic systems.

Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, and the Cochrane Library from January 2000 to August 2024. Randomized controlled trials using XPS and reporting postoperative pain were included.

BACKGROUND This cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) endodontics study aimed to compare the canal-centering ability and canal transportation of Edgefile X7 and HyFlex EDM files in moderately curved mesiobuccal (MB) root canals of 30 mandibular first permanent molar teeth. MATERIAL AND METHODS Thirty permanent mandibular first molars with 10° and 24° of mesial root curvature were selected and scanned with CBCT. Two experimental groups of 15 each were made: group I: HyFlex EDM, and group II: Edgefile X7.

Background and objective Postoperative pain after biomechanical preparation of root canals can be equally distressing to the patient as well as the dentist and can mold the patient's attitude and trust for future dental procedures. This randomized clinical trial aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of rotary and reciprocating single-file systems on postoperative pain after biomechanical preparation in patients with chronic apical periodontitis. Materials and methods In this randomized clinical trial (CTRI Reg No-CTRI/2021/04/032841), 94 patients with chronic apical periodontitis in single straight-rooted teeth were divided equally into two groups, according to a standardized protocol.

Article Synopsis
  • A study evaluated the shaping ability of different kinematics in root canal preparation by measuring the accumulated hard tissue debris (AHTD) and untouched areas using micro-CT imaging.
  • Thirty-two mesial roots of mandibular molars were divided into four groups based on kinematic methods: Continuous Rotation, Reciprocation, Optimum Torque Reverse, and Jeni motion, and analyzed for effectiveness post-preparation.
  • The results indicated no significant differences among techniques for untouched areas, AHTD, canal transportation, and shaping time, although continuous rotation showed more untouched areas in the coronal third and Jeni motion had a better centering ratio in the middle third.
