Evaluation of Canal Transportation Using Single File Rotary Systems, One Shape, Waveone GOLD and Reciproc in Simulated Curved Canals (in Vitro Study)

Abstract

Objectives maintaining root canal anatomy through minimal canal transportation by using Rotary single file systems: One Shape, Wave One Gold and Reciproc systems used in simulated artificial curved root canals. Materials and Methods 30 simulated curved root canals in clear resin blocks were used in this s tudy and divided into three groups containing 10 samples each: group (1) represented canals instrumented with Rotary One Shape files, group (2) canals instrumented with reciprocating Wave One Gold files while Group (3) canals were prepared with Reciproc files. All canals were imaged pre- and post- instrumentation at three levels, 2,3 and 5 mm apically and compared using Adobe Photoshop software program. Amount of transportation were assessed. The three groups were compared with ANOVA and LSD statistic tests Results the mean transportation at 3mm level of the canal had no significant difference among all groups, all shown transportation. At 2mm, and 5mm levels there were significant difference between groups, G2 shown the least transportation among all groups. Conclusions Within the limits of this study, the canal preparation with Wave One Gold files showed lesser transportation than One Shape and Reciproc files.
