Abstract
Aim of the study was to compare the removal of gutta-percha and bioceramic sealer using EdgeFile-XR (EF-XR) retreatment file system and PTU-RE files from mesial root from mandibular molars with mild to moderate curvature using Micro Computed Tomography (Micro-CT) imaging. EF-XR is a newly introduced retreatment file for removal of gutta-percha that has not been evaluated before. Sixteen anatomically matched mesial roots of mandibular molars with mild to moderate curvature were allotted into two groups (n = 8), ProTaper Universal Retreatment files (PTU-RE) and EF-XR. Root canal instrumentation and single cone obturation with BioRoot RCS sealer was performed. Following this, retreatment was done. Pre-and post-Micro-CT analysis was performed to determine the volume of remaining obturating material and root dentin removed and statistically analysed. Within the limitations of the present study, it can be concluded that PTU-RE retreatment files are better than EF-XR files for retrieval of gutta-percha and BioRoot RCS sealer.
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.
