Comparative Analysis of the Efficacy of Various Retreatment File Systems in the Removal of Gutta-Percha in Retreatment Cases and Time Taken During the Procedure: An In Vitro Cone Beam CT Study.

Background Removing gutta-percha manually can be a challenging task, especially when addressing densely packed root-filling material, particularly in cases where resin-based sealers are employed for obturation. The use of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary instruments not only effectively shapes the root canal but also efficiently removes the endodontic filling from the curved canal during retreatment. Hence, incorporating rotary NiTi instruments in retreatment cases can alleviate fatigue for both patients and operators.
