Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate and compare the shaping abilities and minimum dentin thickness of minimally invasive rotary instruments via micro‐computed tomography. Twelve 3D‐printed C‐shaped canal models from a mandibular molar were divided into two groups, and root canals were prepared with either XP‐endo Rise (XR) or TruNatomy (TN) systems. Pre‐ and post‐preparation evaluations included canal volume, prepared area and minimum dentin thickness. No significant differences were found in canal volume change (XR: 22.66 ± 4.28%, TN: 23.02 ± 5.10%), prepared canal area (XR: 31.86 ± 10.72%, TN: 30.26 ± 11.59%) and minimum dentin thickness (XR: 0.30 ± 0.05 mm, TN: 0.28 ± 0.05 mm) between groups (p > 0.05). The canal volume change in the middle third was significantly higher than that in the coronal and apical thirds (p < 0.05) in both groups. In conclusion, XR demonstrated comparable shaping abilities and minimum dentin thickness to TN in preparing 3D‐printed C‐shaped canals.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Endodontic Journal provides a forum for communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for all specialists and dentists with an interest in the morphology, physiology, and pathology of the human tooth, in particular the dental pulp, root and peri-radicular tissues.
The Journal features regular clinical updates, research reports and case reports from authors worldwide, and also publishes meeting abstracts, society news and historical endodontic glimpses.
The Australian Endodontic Journal is a publication for dentists in general and specialist practice devoted solely to endodontics. It aims to promote communication in the different fields that encompass endodontics for those dentists who have a special interest in endodontics.
