Comparative Evaluation Between Two NiTi Rotary Files Using CBCT

AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate and compare the effects of WaveOne and Protaper Next on volume of dentin removed, centering ability and dentin thickness using CBCT on human mandibular molars. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Methodology: 50 recently extracted human mandibular molars were taken and divided into two groups i.e. Group 1- Pro taper next and Group -2 Wave One. The distal root was discarded and the mesiobuccal root canals were selected. Further the selected root canals were scanned to standardize the mesial root canal ranging from 15o to 45o followed by root canal preparation. Here CBCT a non invasive technique was used for assessment. The data extracted were tabulated and subjected to statistical analysis for pair wise comparison. RESULTS: It was seen that Protaper Next showed statistically significant centric ability where as dentin thickness at cervical, middle and apical level and showed no significant differences. Even mean of volume of removed dentin also showed no significant difference (p>0.05) between the groups. CONCLUSION: The inventive method of NiTi rotary system is having better-quality shaping ability in curved canals that results more centered instruments and less canal errors.
