Effects of increasing instrument size and taper on the disinfection and shaping of mandibular incisors. AUST ENDOD J 2024; 50:341-351. [PMID: 38715465 DOI: 10.1111/aej.12851] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2024] [Revised: 04/17/2024] [Accepted: 04/22/2024] [Indexed: 08/13/2024]
Abstract
This study assessed canal preparation effects on disinfection and dentin preservation. Thirty mandibular incisors were paired into two experimental groups (n = 10). Following contamination, the initial microbial sample was collected. Instruments 30/0.03 (Group 1) and 30/0.05 (Group 2) were employed and a second sample was obtained. Canals were enlarged using instruments 40/0.03 and 40/0.05, respectively, and a third sample was collected. Final irrigation was performed, and sample S4 obtained. A final scan evaluated volume, surface area, unprepared areas, removed dentin and dentin thickness. Data were analysed using Student t-test, Mann-Whitney, Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn tests. A significant difference was observed between S1 and other time points (p < 0.05). Comparison between groups showed no differences in bacterial loads and in the percentage of microbial reduction (p > 0.05). Group 2 exhibited greater reduction in dentin thickness than group 1 in the mesial aspect of the root (p < 0.05). Instrument 30/0.03 might provide effective disinfection and safety during mandibular incisors canal preparation.

[PMID: 38135112 DOI: 10.1016/j.joen.2023.11.007] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/01/2023] [Revised: 11/10/2023] [Accepted: 11/12/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
INTRODUCTION The aim of this systematic review was to assess the existing literature and examine whether or not the size of apical enlargement during mechanical preparation affects the outcome of treatment in patients undergoing nonsurgical root canal therapy (NSRCT). METHODS MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase, Cochrane Library, and gray literature were searched (January 2000-May 2023). Study selection and data extraction were performed in duplicate. Eligible studies were critically appraised for risk of bias and quality of evidence and were meta-analyzed to estimate the treatment effects. RESULTS Two studies were included in the meta-analysis. The overall pooled success rate was 75.8%. The success rates of treatment with an apical size ≥ 30 and < 30 were 80.9% and 52.9%, respectively. Cases with an apical size ≥ 30 demonstrated significantly more favorable results (RR = 0.63, 95% Confidence Interval 0.46-0.79, P < .05). The overall quality of evidence was low. CONCLUSIONS With a low certainty of evidence, master apical preparation size ≥ 30 may result in an increased healing outcome in terms of clinical and radiographic evaluations.

Restor Dent Endod 2023; 48:e34. [PMID: 38053776 PMCID: PMC10695733 DOI: 10.5395/rde.2023.48.e34] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/24/2023] [Revised: 08/17/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 12/07/2023] Open
Abstract
This systematic review aimed to investigate whether minimally invasive root canal preparation ensures higher fracture resistance compared to conventional root canal preparation in endodontically treated teeth (ETT). A comprehensive search strategy was conducted on the "PubMed, Web of Science, and Scopus" databases, alongside reference and hand searches, with language restrictions applied. Two independent reviews selected pertinent laboratory studies that explored the effect of minimally invasive root canal preparation on fracture resistance, in comparison to larger preparation counterparts. The quality of the studies was assessed, and the risk of bias was categorized as low, moderate, or high. The electronic search yielded a total of 1,767 articles. After applying eligibility criteria, 8 studies were included. Given the low methodological quality of these studies and the large variability of fracture resistance values, the impact of reduced apical size and/or taper on the fracture resistance of the ETT can be considered uncertain. This systematic review could not reveal sufficient evidence regarding the effect of minimally invasive preparation on increasing fracture resistance of ETT, primarily due to the inherent limitations of the studies and the moderate risk of bias.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The impact of conservative instrumentation on the disinfection of root canals with different curvatures has not yet been determined. This ex vivo study aimed to evaluate and compare the effect of conservative instrumentation with TruNatomy (TN) and Rotate and a conventional rotary system, ProTaper Gold (PTG), on root canal disinfection during chemomechanical preparation of straight and curved canals. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety mandibular molars with straight (n = 45) and curved (n = 45) mesiobuccal root canals were contaminated with polymicrobial clinical samples. Teeth were divided into three subgroups (n = 14) according to the file systems and the curvature. Canals were instrumented with TN, Rotate, and PTG, respectively. Sodium hypochlorite and EDTA were used as irrigants. Intracanal samples were taken before (S1) and after (S2) instrumentation. Six uninfected teeth were used as negative controls. The bacterial reduction between S1 and S2 was measured by ATP assay, flow cytometry, and culture methods. Kruskal-Wallis and ANOVA tests were followed by the Duncan post hoc test (p < 0.05). RESULTS Bacterial reduction percentages were similar for the three file systems in straight canals (p > 0.05). However, PTG showed a lower reduction percentage of intact membrane cells in flow cytometry than TN and Rotate (p = 0.036). For the curved canals, no significant differences were obtained (p > 0.05). CONCLUSION Conservative instrumentation of straight and curved canals using TN and Rotate files resulted in similar bacterial reduction compared to PTG. CLINICAL RELEVANCE The disinfection efficacy of conservative instrumentation is similar to conventional instrumentation in straight and curved root canals.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the effects of root canal enlargement on the danger zone (DZ) of mandibular molars. METHODS Thirty mesial roots of mandibular first molars were scanned in micro-computed tomography (S1). Canals were sequentially enlarged with rotary instruments up to sizes 30/0.04 (S2) and 30/0.06 (S3). The dentin thickness was measured at 0.1-mm intervals after each preparation step (n = 2964 slices). Root level and position of the DZ were also recorded. Data were compared using analysis of variance with Bonferroni pairwise comparison, Cochran's Q method, and Pearson's test (α = 5%). RESULTS Comparing the specimens before (S1) and after (S2 and S3) preparations showed a significant reduction in the thickness of the DZ (P < .05), as well as between S2 and S3 steps (P < .05). At S1, the DZ was mostly located in the middle third of the root, but after preparation, it shifted toward the coronal direction (P < .05). Both S2 (P = .004, r = 0.508) and S3 (P = .004, r = 0.506) preparation steps showed a positive correlation between canal length and the root level of the DZ. At S1, the DZ was positioned toward the distal and mesial in 73.4% (n = 22) and 26.6% (n = 8) of the specimens, respectively. After S3, the number of specimens with DZ positioned toward the mesial aspect of the root significantly reduced to 3.3% (n = 1), whereas none of the specimens with DZ positioned toward the distal changed its position after root canal enlargements (P > .05). CONCLUSION Overall, the enlargement of mesial canals of mandibular first molars with final instruments sizes 30/0.04 and 30/0.06 affected the thickness, root level, and position of the DZ.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This study aimed to evaluate the preservation of the periradicular dentin and the enlargement of the apical canal of mandibular molars with TruNatomy and ProTaper Gold instruments. METHODS Twenty mandibular molars were scanned in a micro-CT device, anatomically paired, and distributed into 2 groups (n=10). In the ProTaper Gold group, mesial and distal canals were prepared up to F2 (25/.08v) and F3 (30/.09v) instruments, while in the TruNatomy group, mesial and distal canals were enlarged until Prime (26/.04v) and Medium (36/.03v) instruments, respectively. After a new scan, surface area, volume, unprepared areas, transportation, percentage of dentin removal, and dentin thickness parameters were calculated. Data were compared between groups using Mann-Whitney, Student t-test, and the non-metric multidimensional scaling test with alpha set at 5%. RESULTS No difference was found between groups regarding unprepared canal areas and reduction of dentin thickness (P > 0.05). Transportation was lower than 0.1 mm in all groups and statistical differences were observed only at the apical third of the mesiobuccal canal with lower values in the TruNatomy group. ProTaper Gold removed more dentin than TruNatomy at the coronal level of mesial roots (1.8% and 1.0%, respectively) (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS TruNatomy and ProTaper Gold were efficient for performing canal preparation in mandibular molars. The tested systems were similar in terms of untouched canal walls and remaining dentin thickness, and slightly different in the apical transportation of mesial canals and percentage of dentin removal at the coronal third, but without clinically significant errors.

Abstract
Introduction: This study assessed the effect of apical size and taper on the efficacy of root canal disinfection with LED photodynamic therapy (PDT) as an adjunct to irrigation with sodium hypochlorite. Methods: A total of 126 extracted human mandibular molars were divided into 4 groups. The mesiobuccal canal was prepared to size 25/4% in group 1, 25/6% in group 2, 30/4% in group 3, and 30/6% in group 4 using the iRaCe rotary system. A 21-day Enterococcus faecalis biofilm was prepared and used for inoculation of the canals. Each group was randomly divided into 3 subgroups for canal disinfection with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite plus LED PDT and saline (positive control). Samples from the root canals were obtained with rotary files and cultured. Microbiologic data were analyzed using the Poisson regression test. Results: The bacterial count significantly decreased following disinfection with sodium hypochlorite with/without PDT in all sizes and tapers of preparation compared with the control group (P<0.05). Increasing the apical taper or apical size and the use of PDT as an adjunct did not have a significant effect on the reduction of the bacterial count (P>0.05). However, the apical size and PDT had a significant effect on the number of residual bacteria (P<0.05), and increasing the apical size and conduction of PDT significantly decreased the number of residual bacteria. Conclusion: The apical size and taper and the use of PDT as an adjunct did not have a significant effect on the reduction of the bacterial count. However, increasing the apical size and conduction of PDT as an adjunct to sodium hypochlorite irrigation significantly decreased the number of residual bacteria in the root canal system.

Abstract
This study investigated the effect of taper and apical preparation size on the fracture resistance of roots. 84 mandibular incisor teeth were selected. Groups (n = 12): uninstrumented (control group), 25/0.04, 25/0.06, 25/0.08, 30/0.04, 30/0.06 and 30/0.08. K3XF files (Kerr Endodontics, Orange, CA) were used for canal preparation. Fracture resistance was tested using a Universal test machine. For statistical analysis, the level of significance was P ≤ 0.05, and one-way anova and post hoc LSD tests were used. The control group showed the highest fracture resistance (P < 0.05). No significant difference was found between 25/0.04 and 25/0.06; 25/0.06 and 25/0.08; 30/0.04 and 30/0.06; 30/0.06 and 30/0.08; 25/0.04 and 30/0.04; 25/0.06 and 30/0.06; and 25/0.08 and 30/0.08 (P > 0.05). Significant differences were found between 25/0.04 and 25/0.08; 30/0.04 and 30/0.08; and 25/0.08 and 30/0.04 (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the clinical selection of larger tapers can cause a higher risk of fracture.

Abstract
Background Enterococcus faecalis is a bacterium frequently isolated after failed root canal therapy. This study analyzed the antibacterial and antibiofilm effects in vitro of sustained-release fillers (SRF) containing cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) against vancomycin resistant E. faecalis. Methods First, the solidification capability was tested by introducing liquid SRF into phosphate buffered saline, followed by 30 s of vortexing. The antimicrobial effects of SRF-CPC against static monospecies biofilms were analyzed with a metabolic assay. Inhibition of biofilm formation was tested by exposing daily refreshed E. faecalis suspensions to SRF-CPC for 9 weeks. To evaluate the effects of SRF-CPC against preformed biofilms, biofilms were grown for 1, 3 and 7 days, and then treated with SRF-CPC for 24 h. Biofilm kill time was tested by applying SRF-CPC to a 3-day-old biofilm and measuring its viability at different time points. All experiments were compared to Placebo SRFs and to untreated control biofilms. Data were analyzed with two-way ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. Results were considered significant at P < 0.05. Results The liquid SRF solidified within seconds and no structural changes were observed after 30 s of vortexing at maximum speed. SRF-CPC inhibited E. faecalis biofilm formation for 7 weeks and significantly reduced its viability in weeks 8 and 9. Mature biofilms grown for 1, 3 and 7 days were destructed by SRF-CPC in less than 24 h. Fifty percent of a 3-day-old biofilm was destructed in 2 h and complete destruction occurred in less than 12 h. (P < 0.05 in all cases, compared to SRII-Placebo). Conclusions SRF-CPC’s physical properties and long-lasting anti-biofilm effects make it a promising coadjuvant medication for endodontic therapy.

Abstract
The aim of this investigation was to evaluate the effects of 2 different cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) sources, photodynamic therapy and sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), on infected root canals. Therefore, 50 standardized curved human root canals were infected with Enterococcus faecalis and assigned to 5 groups-negative control (NC), plasma jet (CAP I), dielectric barrier discharge (CAP II), photodynamic therapy (PDT) and NaOCl + passive ultrasonic irrigation-for 30 s. Colony forming units (CFUs) were determined. NaOCl was significantly more effective at reducing CFUs than all test groups (P < .0001 [Mann-Whitney U test]) in both parts of the root canal. CFUs in PDT were significantly lower than those in CAP II (P = .015), and those in CAP I were lower than those in CAP II (P = .05). Among all other groups and in the apical parts, no significant differences were found (P > .05).

[PMID: 29026571 PMCID: PMC5628211 DOI: 10.1002/ccr3.1165] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/13/2017] [Revised: 07/14/2017] [Accepted: 08/07/2017] [Indexed: 11/08/2022] Open
Abstract
A major cause for endodontic failure is the inability to treat all anatomy. Studies report endodontic retreatments contain 42% missed canals. This case illustrates dentin preservation of a molar with an uninstrumented mesiobuccal‐3 canal revealed post‐GentleWave Procedure. Efficient cleaning and disinfection with maintained healing to 18 months is demonstrated.
