Avaliação da eficácia dos diferentes instrumentos rotatórios no retratamento endodôntico
Journal Title: RSBO - Year 2008, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare in vitro the effectiveness of removing guta-percha from root canals using differents rotatory instruments. Material and methods: Sixty human inferior premolars have been used, which were instrumented with GT hand files up to #30 taper .04 and obturated using Tagger’s hybrid technique. The retreatment has been based in the following instruments: ProFile (group I), ProTaper (group II), GT (group III), Manual-Control (group IV), K3 (group V), and Hero (group VI). Radiographies were taken in vestibular orientation, scanned at resolution 480DPI and analyzed by computer for the observation of the remnant parts of obturation materials after retreatment. The roots have been divided in 1/3 cervical, medium and apical, and scores were attributed as per the following scale: 0 (absence of remnant materials), 1 (up to 25%), 2 (up to 50%), and 3 (over 50%). The scores of obturation remnant materials for the differents tested instruments were statistically assessed by means of the Krusckal-Wallis’ method. Results: There was statistical difference among the instruments (p < 0.01). The group instrumented using Hero and K3 differed from the remaining groups, which presented best results. The control group (manual), in spite of presenting low values, as well as the remaining groups, when appraised by thirds has shown a greater quantity of remaining material at the apical third. Conclusion: The ProFile, ProTaper, GT, and Manual groups have presented more outstanding results, notwithstanding the absence of meaningful statistical difference among them.
