| description | Background and Aim: Maintaining the original shape and path of the canal is among the most important criteria for optimal root canal preparation. The aim of this study was to compare the centering ability of F6 SkyTaper and RaCe rotary files in mesiobuccal canals of mandibular molars.
Materials and Methods: In this experimental study, 30 mesiobuccal canals of extracted human mandibular molars with 25-30-degree curvature were randomly divided into two experimental groups (n=15) of RaCe and F6 SkyTaper. After mounting of the teeth in a putty mold, the distance between the canal walls and the outer surface of the roots in mesial and distal aspects was measured. The measurements were made at 1, 3 and 7 mm from the apex. Initial glide path in the canals was achieved using a # 15 K-file. Then, the canals in group A were prepared by RaCe rotary file #25/6% while the canals in group B were prepared by F6 Sky Taper rotary file #25/6%. Measurements were repeated and the difference between the two measurements was calculated and compared with the Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: The mean centering ability was 0.72 ± 0.62 in the RaCe group and 0.95 ± 1.39 in F6 SkyTaper group. the centrality was better in F6 SkyTaper group (it was closer to 1) but the difference was not statistically significant (P=0.4).
Conclusion: Both RaCe and F6 SkyTaper rotary systems partially offset the centrality of the root canal system. |
