Comparison of Root Canal Cleaning Ability of Rotary and Reciprocating File Techniques: A SEM Study - Abstract
The purpose of this in vitro study, using SEM, was to compare the debridement of the root canal following rotary (full sequence ProTaper till F2) versus reciprocating instrumentation (Wave One and single F2 in reciprocating movement). Having standardized the preparation procedure for all treatment groups, the presence of superficial debris and smear layer were evaluated and graded as well in the coronal, middle and the apical regions of the root canal walls.
