      ab: ObjectiveThe aim of this scanning electron microscopic study was to compare the quality and amounts of smear layer generated by 2 brands of nickel-titanium rotary instruments during canal preparation in the apical thirds of curved root canals.Study designForty mandibular mesial root canals with intact apex and mean curvature between 30 and 35 degrees were selected for this study. The root canals were randomly divided into 2 instrumentation groups of 15 each. Automated preparation was performed with ProFile (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland; n = 15) and K3 (SybronEndo, Orange, Calif; n = 15) instrumentss using a crown-down technique. As a control group, barbed broaches (Mani; Matsutani Seisakusho, Takanezawa-Machi Tochibi-Ken, Japan; n = 10) were used to extirpate the necrotic pulp tissue from the root canals. All root canals were prepared to size #35. Glyde (File Prep, Dentsply Maillefer) was used as lubricant and 1% sodium hypochlorite solution as irrigant. At the conclusion of the experiments, all roots were split longitudinally and the root canal walls were examined at the apical third from 2 different perspectives using a scanning electron microscope. A 4-category scoring system for assessing the smear layer accumulation was used, and the resulting scores were statistically analyzed.ResultsLess smear layer was obtained in the K3 group at the selected apical third of curved root canals (P < .05). However, all instruments left a smear layer. The surface texture of the smear layer, in addition to the depth and the frequency of packed materials into the dentinal tubules, varied with instrument type.ConclusionsThis finding may imply that, compared to ProFile, compression of the remaining smear layer is minimized when using the K3 rotary nickel-titanium system.
