Abstract

The ability of single-file, reciprocating instruments to remove inorganic debris is uncertain. By using micro-computed tomography (microCT), this study compared the 3-dimensional distribution, quantity, and density of remaining inorganic debris in the mesial root of mandibular molars after instrumentation. A single reciprocating file was compared with a multifile rotary instrumentation technique.
