Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate the influence of continuous chelation on apical transportation and centrality in shaped curved canals prepared with a martensitic file system and evaluated by micro-CT. Twenty-four lower molar canals with a curvature of 25º-40º were scanned pre-operatively with micro-CT and divided into 2 groups according to two different irrigation regimens (n = 12). Group 1 was irrigated with NaOCl, group 2 with Dual Rinse. All canals were prepared with VDW.ROTATE system. The samples were scanned post-operatively and evaluated at 1, 3 and 5 mm from the apex to determine apical transportation and canal centrality using VG Studio software. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS software using the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test. No statistically significant differences were found between the two groups for both apical transportation and canal centrality at any of the levels studied (p < 05). The use of continuous chelation during the instrumentation of the canals with martensitic alloy files does not produce greater transportation and does not generate changes in centralization compared to NaOCl-only irrigation. Combined chelation and disinfection while shaping with martensitic NiTi can simplify the irrigation regimen without inducing iatrogenic aberrations.
