Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate effect of the morphology of simulated S-shaped root canals with Reciproc or Mtwo instruments on root canal irrigation. Methods: A total of 40 simulated S-shaped resin blocks were randomly divided into 2 groups (n=20), which was prepared by Reciproc or Mtwo. Blue ink was injected with constant speed and volume into the canals using 30G lateral opening syringe. hTe distance from needle tip to apex and vapor lock length were measured. A type of 25# 0.04 gutta-percha point was used to stir and remove the vapor lock. hTe time for removal of the vapor lock was recorded. Another syringe was used to inject saline into the canals and to measure the length of stagnant water. Results: hTe distance from needle tip to apex in the Reciproc group was signiifcantly longer than that in the Mtwo group [(4.276 ± 0.221) mm vs (3.459 ± 0.205) mm,P<0.05]. The vapor lock length in the Reciproc group was signiifcantly longer than that in the Mtwo group [(4.472 ± 0.230) mm vs (3.668±0.217) mm,P<0.05]. hTe time to remove vapor lock was signiifcantly shorter in the Reciproc group than that in the Mtwo group [(10.13 ± 1.79) s vs (15.29 ± 2.15) s,P<0.05]. The length of stagnant water was also shorter in the Reciproc group than that in the Mtwo group[(1.351 ± 0.142) mm vs (2.245 ± 0.206) mm,P<0.05]. Conclusion: hTe morphology of S-shaped root canal affects the root canal irrigation. hTe effect of root canal irrigated by Reciproc is better than that by Mtwo.
