Aim: To assess various rotary file systems’ centering ability and canal transportation in the curved root of mandibular molars in rotary and reciprocating motions using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT).
Materials and methods: A total of 60 extracted mandibular molars having 30° curved roots were decoronated. After initial biomechanical preparation, samples were divided into three groups and two subgroups based on the file systems and kinematics used to prepare the canal: Vortex Blue files from groups Ia and Ib, Mtwo files from groups IIa and IIb, and ProTaper Next files from groups IIIa and IIIb were employed in rotary and reciprocating motion, respectively. Pre- and postinstrumentation scans using CBCT were carried out to evaluate the canal transportation and centering at three canal levels. The one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) test and associated post hoc test were used to analyze the results.
Result: In the rotary motion, Vortex Blue file showed the highest centering ability (1.24 ± 0.54) at 6 mm root level with a statistically significant difference between ProTaper Next (p = 0.005), while for canal transportation, Vortex Blue file showed the highest value (0.14 ± 0.16 mm) at 3 mm root apex with statistically significant difference between ProTaper Next file (p = 0.027). In the reciprocating motion, no statistically significant differences were found between the three file systems in the centering ability and canal transportation at three canal levels (p > 0.05).
Conclusion: The Vortex Blue file showed the most significant apical transportation in rotary motion. The Mtwo and ProTaper Next files caused the highest canal transportation at the middle and coronal third of the root region, respectively, in both motions.
Clinical significance: The rotary files showed roughly the same level of canal preparation when used in a reciprocating motion, but when used in a rotary motion, the file design has a bigger influence on canal preparation than the motion.
