Abstract:
Objective:To compare ProTaper Universal (PU) and M3-L instruments in preparing curved root canals and to provide a reference for clinical applications.
Methods:Twenty resin-simulated curved single root canals were randomly divided into two groups. Root canal preparation was performed with a PU nickel-titanium file or an M3-L nickel-titanium file. Root canal preparation time, root canal length before and after preparation and root canal deviation were recorded.
Results:In the M3-L group, the displacement measured at the 4th to 7th sites was less than that in the PU group (P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the other two groups (P > 0.05); The length of the root canal before and after root canal preparation in the M3-L group was （14.90 ± 1.92）mm and （14.57 ± 1.13）mm, respectively, and the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (t=3.18, P=0.058). The root canal length before and after root canal preparation in the PU group was（14.53 ± 1.53）mm and （14.28 ± 1.39）mm, respectively. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant（t=2.12,P=0.124）; The average preparation time of the M3-L group [（110.15 ± 10.43）s] was less than that in the PU group [（330.48 ± 12.62）s] (P < 0.05).
Conclusion :The M3-L nickel-titanium file has better central positioning ability and is less time-consuming than the PU nickel-titanium file in root canal bending preparation.
