Aim: T assess the root canal transportation caused by these rotary NiTi reciprocating file systems using 3D cone beam computed tomography Method: This experimental study was conducted on 60 samples of rotary NiTi reciprocating file systems using CBCT. The extent of canal transportation and the centering ratio was analyzed using independent sample t test. The significance level was set at 95%. Results: Mean apical canal transportation was lower in wave one Gold groups as compare to Reciproc (0.8724±0.04SD vs 0.9463±0.02SD, p=0.000). Mean apical canal transportation at 5 mm was lower in wave one gold group as compare to reciproc blue group (0.5610±0.02SD vs 0.7253±0.06SD, p=0.000). Mean apical canal transportation at 8mm was lower in wave one group as compare to reciproc blue (0.358±0.03SD vs 0.5766±0.10SD, p=0.000). Conclusion: Wave one Gold had high centering ability and lower canal transportation as compare to Reciproc Blue single file system. CBCT is an efficient method of understanding Canal transportation Keywords: CBCT, NiTi wire, Root canal transportation, Reciproc blue

Introduction. This study is aimed at evaluating root canal transportation in the mesiobuccal canal of mandibular first molars prepared with One Shape, Reciproc, and M-One nickel titanium (NiTi) single-file rotary systems using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods. In this ex vivo study, CBCT scans of 45 extracted human mandibular first molars with 20–40° curvature were obtained. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups (n=15) for preparation of the mesiobuccal canal with One Shape, Reciproc, and M-One rotary systems according to the manufacturers’ instructions. CBCT scans were obtained again after canal preparation. Changes caused by preparation in the coronal, middle, and apical thirds were determined on CBCT scans and analyzed using the Kruskal–Wallis test at P≤0.05 level of significance. Results. No significant difference was noted in the amount of canal transportation among the three groups (P>0.05). M-One caused greater transportation in the apical third compared with Reciproc and One Shape, and One Shape caused greater transportation in the coronal third compared with other groups, although its magnitude was less than 0.3 mm. Conclusion. Reciproc, One Shape, and M-One are not significantly different in terms of canal transportation.

AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effect of different access cavity designs, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT), on root canal transportation, and centralization performed on two rooted maxillary premolars. METHODS: Twenty maxillary premolars were randomly divided into two groups. In Group 1, traditional endodontic cavities (TECs) were prepared. In Group 2, contracted endodontic cavities (CECs) were prepared. Mechanical preparation was done by HyFlex electrical discharge machining (EDM) single file in both groups. CBCT imaging was performed pre- and post-root canal preparation for calculations of root canal transportation and centering ability. RESULTS: Data were analyzed using Mann–Whitney U test and Kruskal–Wallis test. For transportation, teeth with CECs showed the statistically significantly highest median amount of transportation, while as for centering ability, results showed no significant difference between both groups. CONCLUSION: Under the conditions of this study, HyFlex EDM prepared canals with different access cavity designs without significant shaping errors. TEC showed less transportation than CEC, while both TEC and CEC had no effect on the file centering ability.

This study aimed to compare the canal transportation and canal centering ability in the preparation of curved root canals after instrumentation with TruNatomy (TN) (TN; Dentsply Sirona, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) and ProTaper Gold (PG) (PG; Dentsply, Tulsa Dental Specialties, Tulsa, OK, USA) files using cone‑beam computed tomography (CBCT). 30 Single rooted extracted human teeth with root curvature ranging from 20-30° according to Schneider’s method were selected. Teeth with any visible cracks or fractures, calcifications, previous root canal treatments were excluded. The teeth were randomly assigned into two groups i.e. Group 1-TN and Group 2-PG (n = 15 each). The teeth were instrumented according to manufacturer’s guidelines for both the groups. Canals were scanned using a CBCT scanner before and after preparation to evaluate the transportation and centering ratio at 3 mm, 5 mm, and 7 mm from the apex. The data analysis was done using SPSS software and the test used was independent sample t test for comparison between the 2 groups.Data obtained suggested that TN group presented lesser canal transportation at the middle third of the root. The PG group showed better centering abitily at apical third of the root canal when both the groups were compared. TN resulted in less transportation than PG at the middle third, and PG showed better centering ability at the apical third. Overall, both systems safely prepared root canals, causing minimal errors.

Objective: To determine the prevalence of C-shaped canals in lower molars (first and second molars) in a Chilean subpopulation, and to identify root configuration and demographic characteristics using cone beam tomography. Materials and method: 912 molars (456 first and 456 second molars) resulting from the analysis of 228 mandibular CBCT scans (89 men and 139 women between 15 and 80 years old) were evaluated. Through panoramic reconstruction and axial tomographic sections, the root configuration was established, and the presence and type of C-shaped canal were classified, analyzing 5 levels along the root canal. Data were statistically analyzed with a 5% significance level. Results: Of the 912 molars analyzed, 69 were classified as C-shaped (7.57%), constituting 65.72% of those molars that presented fused roots. 100% of this configuration of canals was observed in lower second molars, presenting a higher prevalence in women (n = 49, 71.01%). 40.82% of the cases that presented a C-shaped configuration manifested bilaterally. The most frequent C-shaped canal configuration was C3 (n = 347, 66.10%), according to Melton's classification. Conclusion: The C-shaped canals in the studied population were observed entirely in lower second molars, showing a clear predilection for the female sex and a high rate of bilaterality.   Keywords  Anatomy; Cone beam computed tomography; Dental pulp cavity; Endodontics.
