ABSTRACT

Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the shaping capabilities of the ProTaper Gold Rotary file system and the WaveOne Gold Reciprocating file system in curved mesial root canals of extracted mandibular first molars, regarding the change in canal angle.

Study Design: Experimental Study (In-vitro)

Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at the department of Operative Dentistry, Sindh Institute of Oral Health Sciences, JSMU, Karachi from January 2020 to December 2022.

Methods: Total 60 extracted mandibular 1St molars teeth were included and divided into two groups. ProTaper Gold files (Dentsply Sirona, Switzerland) were used to shape Group 1 at the working length and group 2 was shaped with WaveOne Gold reciprocating files (Dentsply Sirona, Switzerland) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Results: Mean±SD of canal straightening (change in canal angle) was noted as 3.28±1.24 v/s 2.91±1.42 among WaveOne Gold Reciprocating file system vs the ProTaper Gold Rotary file system & p-value was found to be non-significant i.e. (p=0.286).

Conclusion: It is to be concluded that the shaping ability of Wave One Gold Reciprocating file system and the Pro Taper Gold Rotary file system in curved mesial root canals in extracted mandibular 1st molars was similar considering change in angle of canal. It will take more prospective, carefully monitored randomised studies to confirm the present findings.

Key Words: Mesial Root Canals, Pro Taper, Shaping Ability, Wave One
