This study compared apical transportation and centering ability of TruNatomy, EDMax, and Reciproc Blue in curved mesiobuccal canals of mandibular molars.
This study was conducted on curved (20-40 degrees) mesiobuccal canals of 60 mandibular molars. The teeth were randomly assigned to 4 groups (=15) for instrumentation of the mesiobuccal canals with (I) TruNatomy, (II) EDMax, (III) Reciproc Blue, and (IV) Reciproc Blue+R-Pilot. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained before and after instrumentation. Changes in canal wall thickness in mesiodistal (MD) and buccolingual (BL) directions were assessed at 1, 2, 3, and 4 mm from the apex using OnDemand software. Data were analyzed by the Kruskal-Wallis, Bonferroni, Friedman, and Fisher's exact tests (alpha=0.05).
TruNatomy showed significantly lower transportation than Reciproc Blue and EDMax in the apical, middle, and coronal thirds (<0.05). Reciproc Blue and EDMax had no significant difference in transportation (>0.05). Using the R-Pilot glider had no significant effect on transportation (>0.05). Canal transportation was not significantly different within each group at four distances from the apex (>0.05). TruNatomy showed significantly higher centering ability than Reciproc Blue+R-Pilot in the BL dimension at 3 mm from the apex (<0.05).
TruNatomy showed significantly lower canal transportation than Reciproc Blue and EDMax at all distances from the apex. The files had no significant difference in centering ability except at 3 mm in BL dimension, where TruNatomy had significantly higher centering ability than Reciproc Blue+R-Pilot.
本研究比较了TruNatomy、EDMax和Reciproc Blue在下颌磨牙近中颊根管弯曲处的根尖移位和定心能力。
本研究针对60颗下颌磨牙的弯曲(20 - 40度)近中颊根管进行。将牙齿随机分为4组(每组15颗),分别使用(I)TruNatomy、(II)EDMax、(III)Reciproc Blue和(IV)Reciproc Blue + R - Pilot对近中颊根管进行预备。在预备前后获取锥形束计算机断层扫描(CBCT)图像。使用OnDemand软件在距根尖1、2、3和4毫米处评估根管壁在近远中(MD)和颊舌(BL)方向的厚度变化。数据采用Kruskal - Wallis、Bonferroni、Friedman和Fisher精确检验进行分析(α = 0.05)。
在根尖、中部和冠部三分之一处,TruNatomy的移位明显低于Reciproc Blue和EDMax(P < 0.05)。Reciproc Blue和EDMax在移位方面无显著差异(P > 0.05)。使用R - Pilot滑行钻对移位无显著影响(P > 0.05)。在距根尖的四个距离处,每组内的根管移位无显著差异(P > 0.05)。在距根尖3毫米处的BL维度上,TruNatomy的定心能力明显高于Reciproc Blue + R - Pilot(P < 0.05)。
在距根尖的所有距离处,TruNatomy的根管移位均明显低于Reciproc Blue和EDMax。除了在BL维度3毫米处TruNatomy的定心能力明显高于Reciproc Blue + R - Pilot外,各锉在定心能力上无显著差异。
