Objectives: This research was done to evaluate how the root canal taper affects the Endodontically Treated Teeth (ETT) prepared with the TruNatomy and Protaper Next file systems in terms of fracture resistance.
Materials And Method: Forty recently extracted mandibular premolar teeth were used in this research, which was classified into four groups at random. Groups 1a and 1b used TruNatomy 4% and 6%, respectively, while groups 2a and 2b used the Protaper Next 4% and 6% file systems, respectively. The root canals were cleaned, shaped, and sealed using cold lateral compaction. The root canals were then fixed in standardized autopolymerizing acrylic resin blocks and tested for vertical root fracture using a universal testing machine. Newtons were used to measure the forces needed to cause fractures. Data were statistically analyzed.
Results: In comparison with other groups, group 1a (TruNatomy 4%) displayed greater fracture resistance (423.322.43 Newtons), and group 2b (Protaper Next 6%) displayed the least fracture resistance (264.512.76 Newtons).
Conclusion: Protaper Next file system had lower fracture resistance than TruNatomy file system. With the use of greater taper instruments, a notable decrease in the fracture resistance of ETT was observed.

Statement Of The Problem: Root canal preparation with rotary files causes dentinal cracks in root canals of primary teeth affecting their longevity.
Purpose: Nickel-titanium rotary files have been widely used for root canal preparation in primary teeth. The present study compared occurrence of dentinal microcracks in root canals of extracted primary molar teeth prepared using Hedstrom (H) files, ProTaper Universal rotary files, and ProTaper Next rotary file systems.

Introduction: Adding a compatible chelator to the sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) solution applied during instrumentation may affect shaping efficacy and canal transportation. This was studied in simulated double-curved root canals.
Methods: High-precision computer numerical control milling was used to recreate standardized S-shaped canals from a resin training block in longitudinally sectioned bovine incisor roots.

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effect of heat-treated nickel titanium (NiTi) files TruNatomy and XP- Endo Shaper on the major apical foramen deformation and enlargement in curved root canals using area, circularity, and Feret's diameter ratio.
Methods: Sixty mesio-buccal roots of maxillary and mandibular molars with Vertucci type II root canal were selected. The teeth were decoronated using a carborundum disc.

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.

Background: When selecting an instrument for canal preparation, it is important to consider several parameters that influence the shaping efficiency, including instrument design, metallurgy, and operating motion. This study aimed to evaluate the shaping ability of the ProTaper Next (PTN), WaveOne Gold (WOG), and XP-endo Rise Shaper (XPRS) rotary systems in severely and abruptly curved root canals using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and ImageJ software.
Materials And Methods: Forty-eight mesial root canals of the mandibular first molars were assigned equally to three groups: PTN, WOG, and XPRS.
