Compare the Centering Ability, Canal Transportation and Root Canal Area Increase of XP Endoshaper, Hyflex CM and K3 XF File System by using Cone Beam: An Original Research.

OBJECTIVE

Using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), this study compared three rotary file systems-XP Endoshaper, Hyflex CM, and K3 XF-for centering, canal transportation, and root canal area growth.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The rotating file system randomly separated 60 removed human mandibular molars into three groups ( = 20). Manufacturer-recommended root canal instrumentation was done. Specialized software examined pre- and post-instrumentation CBCT scans. Centering ability was measured by canal transportation and root canal area expansion at different levels from the apex.

RESULTS

The Hyflex CM file system had the best centering and the least canal transit at all levels ( < 0.05). XP Endoshaper increased the root canal area the most ( < 0.05). The K3 XF file system had average centering and canal transfer results.

CONCLUSION

The Hyflex CM system centered well, whereas the XP Endoshaper system increased the root canal area the most. The clinical context and therapeutic goals should determine the rotating file system.
