J. appl. oral sci; 26 (), 2018
Abstract Objective To evaluate the amount of apically extruded debris, percentage of foraminal enlargement and apical foramen (AF) deformation that occurred during root canal preparation with different reciprocation systems: Reciproc, WaveOne (M-Wire), and ProDesign R (Shape Memory Technology Wire) at t...

Postoperative pain intensity after using different instrumentation techniques: a randomized clinical study

J. appl. oral sci; 25 (1), 2017
Abstract Postoperative pain is a frequent complication associated with root canal treatment, especially during apical instrumentation of tooth with preexisting periradicular inflammation Objectives The aim of this clinical study was to evaluate the influence of the instrumentation techniques on the inc...

The effect of various kinematics on postoperative pain after instrumentation: a prospective, randomized clinical study

J. appl. oral sci; 24 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate various kinematic movements on postoperative pain using a Reciproc system. Material and Methods: Fifty-six molar teeth were divided into four groups according to kinematics as follows: continuous rotation, 360° CCW – 30° CW, 270° CCW – 30° CW, and 150° C...
