| description | Abstract Background It is currently unknown whether rotary file motion affects the best outcome of root canal retreatment. This experimental study compared the efficacy, efficiency, and complications of single-use NiTi rotary files using continuous rotation, reciprocating, and adaptive motions in root canal filling removal in curved root canals. Reciproc blue R25 was used with reciprocating motion (RB), VDW.ROTATE retreatment files with continuous rotation (VR), and ProTaper NEXT X2 with continuous rotation (PTNc) or adaptive motion (PTNa). Methods Forty mesial root canals of extracted mandibular first and second molars with an angle of curvature between 20°–40° and a radius of curvature between 5 and 10 mm were collected. The specimens were instrumented and obturated with gutta-percha and AH Plus sealer using the continuous wave of condensation technique. The specimens were randomly divided into 4 retreatment groups (n = 10), RB, VR, PTNc, and PTNa. The percentage of root canal filling removal in each group was analyzed using Micro-Computed Tomography (µCT). The motor running time, total time, root canal complication, and instrument complication were recorded and statistically analyzed (p-value < 0.05). Results The pre-operative root canal curvature and root canal filling volume were comparable among groups. The percentage of root canal filling removal from the whole canal in the PTNc, RB, PTNa, and VR group was 98%, 96%, 95%, and 93%, respectively. A significant difference was observed between the PTNc and VR groups for the whole canal and the apical-third part. The motor running time and total time were significantly different between the groups. Instrument fracture was observed at 40% in the VR and 20% in the PTNa group, but none in the RB and PTNc groups. Conclusions The ProTaper NEXT X2 with continuous rotation and RB files can be used with high efficacy and efficiency in curved root canal retreatment. Continuous rotation is more efficacious and efficient than adaptive motion when using the NiTi rotary file. Single file retreatment can be used in small canals with high efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and less time consumption. |
