Root canal filling material may be extruded during retreatment\u0000 through the apical foramen and cause flare-up or chronic infection. The aim\u0000 of this study was to compare the apical extrusion of gutta-percha and\u0000 resilon filling materials during retreatment using hand and rotary\u0000 instruments. Methods. Sixty extracted single-rooted teeth with single,\u0000 straight canal were selected. Canals were prepared with ProTaper Universal\u0000 rotary system to a size F2. Two groups (30 teeth in each) were filled with\u0000 gutta-percha or resilon points, respectively. In both groups teeth were\u0000 randomly divided into the three subgroups (10 teeth in each), based on the\u0000 instruments used for retreatment: Hedstrom hand files and two rotary groups-\u0000 ProTaper and Twisted File instruments. Apical extrusion was detected\u0000 visually, using a 4-degree scoring system. Mean scores were calculated and\u0000 analyzed statistically (t-test and ANOVA). The level of significance was set\u0000 at p < 0.05. Results. Under tested experimental conditions, the type of\u0000 canal filling material did not have significant effect on the results of\u0000 apical extrusion during retreatment. Significantly more material was\u0000 extruded in the resilon group when manual, Hedstrom file was used (1.80 ?\u0000 1.13) than rotary ProTaper (0.60 ? 0.70) and Twisted File (0.50 ? 0.71).\u0000 Conclusions. The use of a rotary technique is recomended to minimize apical\u0000 extrusion, especially when resilon obturation material is removed during\u0000 retreatment.","PeriodicalId":180624,"journal":{"name":"Serbian Dental Journal","volume":"134 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124353503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
