The results of instrumentation studies in small curved canals using various instruments and techniques are not consistent. The amount of instrument precurving and a gradual or abrupt curve of the canal may have influenced the results of these studies. One hundred sixty resin blocks with simulated canals were used. Eighty blocks had gradual (GC) 30 degree curves, the remainder had abrupt (AC) 30 degree...
This study compared step-back preparations in curved canals using nickel-titanium (Ni-Ti) K-files and stainless steel K-files. Forty canals in mesial roots of mandibular molars were embedded in casting resin and cross-sectioned at three levels: 1 to 2 mm from the apical foramen, middle of the curve, and coronal. Direct digital computer images were recorded before and after instrumentation. Superimposition...
