Abstract
As a dangerous factor in vertical root fracture, dentinal crack formation is often associated with root canal instruments. We conducted this meta-analysis to compare the influence of two types of nickel titanium (NiTi) instruments that have different movements (reciprocating single-file versus full-sequence rotary file systems) on dentinal cracks formation during root canal preparation. Searches were conducted in PubMed, ISI Web of Knowledge, Embase and Cochrane Library using a combination of keywords. Titles and abstracts of all articles were independently assessed by two reviewers in accordance with the predefined inclusion criteria. Relevant studies were acquired in full-text form. Data in these articles were independently extracted. A meta-analysis was conducted using Review Manager 5.3. The results showed that the WaveOne and Reciproc files with a reciprocating motion produced significantly fewer dentinal cracks than the conventional rotational ProTaper technique.
