Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze in vitro the apical deviation produced by pre-curved stainless steel (Flexofile) and nickel-titanium files (Nitiflex) manually and in alternated rotation motion, with counter-anlgle TEP-10-R (NSK) in instrumentation of root canal preparation. Eighty curved mesial roots of extracted mandibular molars were used. Those roots were selected and equally divided into four homogeneous groups of twenty specimens each. It was performed an access surgery, cervical preparation and odontometry. After that, the teeth were embedded in an hexagonal transparent resin block . Aiming to gauge x-ray exposure, the radiographic platform method was utilized with a modification that allowed obtaining some pre and post instrumentation into three different incidences: radiographics B/L, M-B / D-L e D-B / M-L views. After initial radiographics in all the three above descripted views using a #15 file inside of the root, it was performed instrumentation. The roots of Group 1 were instrumented by Flexofile hand files using crown-down technique; The Group 2 was instrumented by Flexofile hand files in mechanic-oscilatory system (TEP-10 RNSK); The Group 3 was instrumented by Nitiflex hand files using crown-down technique and the roots of Group 4 were instrumented by Nitiflex hand files in mechanic oscilatory system (TEP- 10 R- NSK). At the end of this phase, it was performed a new radiographic using a #40 file into canal, in the same patterns of the first radiographic. The images were digitalized. The deviation analysis was done superimposing them and the measuring of such deviations using computed software (Image Tool). The results showed that using three view analysis in different ways in the same root specimen is important to safely detect some angle degree of apical deviation after root canal preparation. It was verified that 67.5% of the roots there was some angle degree deviation, independently of the technique. Despite no statistical significance, the apical deviation were present, in decreasing order, with mechanic-oscilatory with Flexofile files (G2), the manual technique with Nitiflex files(G3), mechanic-oscilatory technique with Nitiflex files(G4) and manual technique with Flexofile (G1).
