Abstract
Background: To compare the dentin thickness in the danger zone of mandibular molars after preparation with one rotating (XP-endo Shaper) and two reciprocating (One Reci and Reciproc Blue) single file systems using a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials and Methods: Thirty-six mesial roots of mandibular first molars having two independent canals were selected. After initial CBCT scans were provided, teeth were assigned into 3 groups related to the single file used: XP-Endo Shaper (XPS), One Reci (OR) and Reciproc Blue (RB). The roots were scanned again after preparation with respective single file systems. The minimum dentine thickness in the danger zone, at 4, 5, 6 and 7 mm below the furcation level, were measured in CBCT scans. Initial and final measurements were used to calculate the removed dentin thickness in the danger zone. Data was analyzed using Repeated-measures ANOVA (p=0.05).
Results : No significant differences were found related with remaining and removed dentin thickness among single file systems at any level from the furcation (p>0.05).
Conclusions: The evaluated single file systems showed similar cutting efficiency in the danger zone of mandibular molars.
