Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This study compared canal transportation and centering ratio produced after instrumentation with a single heat-treated reciprocating system, WaveOne Gold (WOG; Dentsply Sirona, Tulsa, OK, USA) and a single heat-treated rotary instrument, XP-endo Shaper (XPS; FKG, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland), using micro-computed tomographic (micro-CT) imaging, and evaluated the ability of double-digital radiography (DDR) to detect canal transportation. MATERIALS AND METHODS:Mesial root canals of mandibular molars with severe curvature (25-70°) were randomly assigned to either WOG or XPS groups for preparation. Centering ratio was measured by micro-CT imaging, while canal transportation was measured by micro-CT and DDR methods at 3, 5, and 7 mm from the apex. Data were statistically compared between groups using the t test (α = 5%). RESULTS: The micro-CT method showed that XPS's shaping ability regarding the centering ability (P = 0.030) and canal transportation (P = 0.028) was significantly better than WOG only at the 7-mm level. The DDR technique detected no difference in canal transportation between groups at any level (P > 0.05); however, a significant difference between evaluation methods was detected at the 5-mm level in the WOG group (P = 0.023). CONCLUSIONS:Micro-CT technique revealed a significantly better centering ability and less canal transportation with XPS compared to WOG. The DDR technique was not capable of detecting the significant difference between the tested groups. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Root canal curvatures may lead to procedural errors during endodontic treatment. Thus, differences on the shaping ability of single heat-treated reciprocating and rotary systems should be known.
