Chemomechanical preparation is intended to clean, disinfect, and shape the root canal. This
step is of utmost importance during treatment of infected teeth with apical periodontitis …

Introduction The aim of this study was to assess the influence of contracted endodontic
cavities (CECs) on root canal detection, instrumentation efficacy, and fracture resistance …

Aim To evaluate the effect of instrumentation using Reciproc Blue (RB; VDW, Munich,
Germany) and XP‐endo Shaper (XP‐S; FKG Dentaire, La Chaux‐deFonds, Switzerland) …

Introduction This ex vivo study compared the disinfection and shaping abilities of 2
preparation protocols in C-shaped canals. Methods Mandibular second molars with type I C …

Introduction This study aimed to evaluate the dynamic cyclic fatigue resistance of Reciproc
Blue files subjected to brushing motion. Methods Twenty Reciproc Blue files (R25, VDW …

Aim To evaluate oval root canal preparation using one or two instruments in
counterclockwise or clockwise reciprocating motion. Methodology The radiographic …

Objectives To evaluate the shaping ability and cleaning after oval root canal preparation
using one or more instruments in reciprocating or rotary motion. Materials and methods Oval …

To evaluate the influence of novel ultrasonic tips as an auxiliary method for the rotary
preparation of flattened/oval-shaped canals. Forty-five mandibular incisors were selected …

The aim of this study was to evaluate three reciprocating systems and complementary
cleaning methods on filling material removal during retreatment of flattened canals. Thirty …
