COMPARATIVE EVALUATION OF THE PREPARATION TIME OF A NEW NON INTERRUPTED FLAT SIDED DESIGN VERSUS PROTAPER HAND INSTRUMENTS AND CONVENTIONAL INSTRUMENTS: AN IN VITRO STUDY
Journal Title: PARIPEX-Indian Journal of Research - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Modern endodontics is characterized by a quest for more efficient methods of canal instrumentation. A new addition to the endodontic instruments is the EZ-fill safesiders. These instruments have shown promising results decreasing the preparation time when compared to the stainless steel files. The aim of this study was to check the time required for preparation of root canal using the various manual instruments. Objective: To determine and compare the time needed for instrumentation of the root canal system when different instruments are used. Methodology: Thirty extracted upper anterior teeth were selected for the study. Standard access cavities were prepared and they were randomly divided into three groups (n= 10). The groups were according to the instruments used for root canal preparation Group 1 – Stainless steel K-reamers Group 2 - ProTaper manual instruments Group 3 – EZ-fill safesiders reamers The same operator according to the manufacturer’s instructions instrumented all the root canals. The time for instrumentation was recorded using a stop watch in seconds. Sodium hypochlorite was used as irrigation Results: The results with regards to the preparation time showed that the group 1 instrumented with the K-reamers required the least time for preparation followed by the EZ-fill safesider reamers and then the ProTaper manual instruments.
