The purpose of this study was to compare the root canal shaping abilities of 4 nickel-titanium rotary instruments.
ProFile, GT Rotary, Quantec, and ProTaper files were used to instrument 48 simulated curved root canals in plastic blocks with the crown-down technique. One operator prepared all the canals until reaching an apical canal size of #30. The instrumentation time, changes of canal dimension and curvature, canal aberration, and instrument deformation were evaluated. Data were analyzed by using one-way analysis of variance followed by the Duncan multiple range test.
The ProTaper took significantly less instrumentation time, removed more canal wall (especially at the inner side of the canal curve), lessened the canal curvature, and induced more instrument deformation than did the other instruments.
Although ProTaper files cut more canal wall more quickly than the other instruments in the curved canal, they were also the instruments that most frequently became deformed.
本研究旨在比较4种镍钛旋转器械的根管预备能力。
使用Profile、GT Rotary、Quantec和ProTaper锉,采用冠向深入技术对塑料块中的48个模拟弯曲根管进行预备。由一名操作者预备所有根管,直至达到根尖根管尺寸为#30。评估预备时间、根管尺寸和弯曲度的变化、根管偏差及器械变形情况。数据采用单因素方差分析,随后进行邓肯多重极差检验。
与其他器械相比,ProTaper预备时间显著更短,去除的根管壁更多(尤其是在根管弯曲内侧),减小了根管弯曲度,且导致器械变形更多。
尽管在弯曲根管中,ProTaper锉比其他器械更快地切削更多根管壁,但它们也是最常发生变形的器械。
