Backround: frequent introduction of new dental instruments or devices into the market has been aconcern for dentists worldwide, as the prices of such instruments are generally high, especially indeveloping countries. In addition, the use of these tools requires new skills and experience. For thisreason, while innovations in dentistry are being pursued, it may be advantageous to update the dentalinstruments that we have been using for years. This study evaluated whether both ProFile and ProTaperfiles have the potential to reduce the number of files required for shaping curved root canals.
Methods: A total of 45 simulated canals with 40o curvature in clear resin blocks were prepared withconventional rotary systems: ProFile orifice shaping (OS) #3 and final flaring #25/.06, Reciproc R25, andProTaper shaping file SX and finishing file F2. Pre- and post-instrumentation views were analysed usingdigital images captured by a camera. Prepared inner and outer walls at 1–10 levels were measured usingAutoCAD software. The time required for canal shaping and the frequency of broken instruments wererecorded. Standardised pre- and post-instrumentation radiographs were taken to determine changes inworking length (WL) and straightening of canal curvature. The presence of blockage or perforation wasalso evaluated. Data were analysed using the one-way multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) andleast significant difference test. The level of significance was set at 0.05. The transportation,instrumentation time, change of WL, and instrumentation fractures were evaluated. Data were analysedby ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis and independent t-test (p<0.05).
Results: Reciproc removed more mass in total and caused less transportation in the middle and coronalthird (p<0.001). The transportations performed in the apical third were opposite to the curve. There wasno significant difference among the groups in terms of maintaining the original WL. Reciproc wassignificantly faster (p<0.001). Only one instrument fracture (25/0.06 ProFile) was noted. All groupsshowed one ledge each.
Discussion: According to this study, both ProFile and ProTaper files have the potential to reduce thenumber of files required for shaping curved root canals. However, Reciproc, which was produced using asingle-file concept, was determined to be more advantageous in terms of time. This study suggests thatthe conventional rotary technique system might have comparable efficacy to the single-file system forroot canal shaping.

25 Is it possible to reduce file numbers of conventional rotary systems?
26 Backround: frequent introduction of new dental instruments or devices into the market has been
27 a concern for dentists worldwide, as the prices of such instruments are generally high, especially
28 in developing countries. In addition, the use of these tools requires new skills and experience.
29 For this reason, while innovations in dentistry are being pursued, it may be advantageous to
30 update the dental instruments that we have been using for years. This study evaluated whether
31 both ProFile and ProTaper files have the potential to reduce the number of files required for
32 shaping curved root canals.
33 Methods: A total of 45 simulated canals with 40o curvature in clear resin blocks were prepared
34 with conventional rotary systems: ProFile orifice shaping (OS) #3 and final flaring #25/.06,
35 Reciproc R25, and ProTaper shaping file SX and finishing file F2. Pre- and post-instrumentation
36 views were analysed using digital images captured by a camera. Prepared inner and outer walls
37 at 1–10 levels were measured using AutoCAD software. The time required for canal shaping and
38 the frequency of broken instruments were recorded. Standardised pre- and post-instrumentation
39 radiographs were taken to determine changes in working length (WL) and straightening of canal
40 curvature. The presence of blockage or perforation was also evaluated. Data were analysed using
41 the one-way multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference test. The
42 level of significance was set at 0.05. The transportation, instrumentation time, change of WL,
43 and instrumentation fractures were evaluated. Data were analysed by ANOVA, Kruskal–Wallis
44 and independent t-test (p<0.05).
45 Results: Reciproc removed more mass in total and caused less transportation in the middle and
46 coronal third (p<0.001). The transportations performed in the apical third were opposite to the
PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26641v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 8 Mar 2018, publ: 8 Mar 2018
47 curve. There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of maintaining the original
48 WL. Reciproc was significantly faster (p<0.001). Only one instrument fracture (25/0.06 ProFile)
49 was noted. All groups showed one ledge each.
50 Discussion: According to this study, both ProFile and ProTaper files have the potential to reduce
51 the number of files required for shaping curved root canals. However, Reciproc, which was
52 produced using a single-file concept, was determined to be more advantageous in terms of time.
53 This study suggests that the conventional rotary technique system might have comparable
54 efficacy to the single-file system for root canal shaping.

70 Introduction
71 Single-file systems appeal to dentists, because they are less expensive and time-consuming due
72 to the use of fewer tools and they avoid cross-contamination while preventing possible prions.
73 However, the cost is still high and many instrument fractures occur (1). Therefore, manufacturer
74 usually changes the number, shape and design of instruments to be used in root canal preparation
75 in accordance with the basic principles of endodontics.
76 Given this situation, some researchers evaluated their rotary motion activities by reducing
77 the number of traditional files, such as ProTaper and ProFile. Subsequently, the advantages of
78 reciprocating movement against rotary motion came to the fore again, and traditional files were
79 evaluated for reciprocating motion. Finally, the new generation of single-file system took its
80 place in the market.
81 A recent development in canal shaping techniques was described by Yared in 2008 using a
82 single NiTi file in a reciprocating motion to prepare curved canals in molar teeth (2). Several
83 studies have reported satisfactory results using ProTaper F2 (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues,
84 Switzerland) in a reciprocating motion when cyclic fatigue resistance and shaping ability were
85 measured (3-5). Based on these results, it may be possible for canal shaping using a conventional
86 rotary NiTi file system in a reciprocating motion to be applied clinically.
PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26641v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 8 Mar 2018, publ: 8 Mar 2018
87 ProTaper F2 cannot shape the canal to full length when it is used in a conventional
88 continuous rotating motion. However, few studies have applied a reciprocating motion to
89 conventional rotary NiTi files like ProTaper F2 (6).
90 A while ago, nickel-titanium-based Reciproc (VDW, Munich, Germany), which shaped
91 root canals with a single file, was introduced to the dental market. This file is made from a
92 nickel-titanium-based m-wire subjected to a special heat treatment. The greatest feature of the
93 M-wire nickel-titanium alloy is resistance to cyclic fatigue and greater flexibility of the
94 instrument (7). The reciprocal movement is similar to the first application of balanced force
95 introduced in 1985 by Roane et al. (8), and it allows for its use in automatic devices and even in
96 severely curved root canals. The reciprocation working motion is the clockwise movement
97 (release of the instrument) and the counter-clockwise movement (cutting direction). The
98 clockwise counterclockwise angle is greater than clockwise.The manufacturer does not require
99 the use of a glide path in the use of Reciproc files (9).
100 The ProFile, first introduced by Schilder in 1992, is the most researched canal instrument
101 (10, 11), and it is accepted as the gold standard (12).
102 Up to now, few studies on reciprocation or rotary movement with ProTaper F2 files have
103 been reported (3,11,13). However, no study has investigated the shaping ability of a conventional
104 full-sequence rotary instrument ProFile in single-file systems. The purpose of this study is to
105 evaluate whether it is possible to reduce the file number of conventional rotary systems and to
106 compare these systems with Reciproc.
107 Methods

108 Forty‐five simulated root canals in resin blocks (Lot 1118484 Dentsply Maillefer) were
109 operated for this study. The curvature of J-shaped simulated canals was 40 degrees with respect
110 to Schneider Method and the length of the canals was 16.5 mm (14).
111 Groups PRF (ProFile orifice shaping (OS) #3 and final flaring #25/.06 (Lot 4259530
112 Dentsply Tulsa Dental, Tulsa, OK)) and PRT (ProTaper shaping file SX and finishing file F2
113 (Lot 1154441 Dentsply Maillefer)) were instrumented with continuous rotary movement by an
114 electric motor (Technika; ATR, Pistoia, Italy) set at a speed of 300 rpm and torque of 30
115 (Technika motor setting value) in a 16:1 reduction handpiece. Group RR (Reciproc R25 (Lot
116 160072 VDW, Munich, Germany, Dentaire Company, la‐Chaux‐de‐Fonds, Switzerland)) was
117 instrumented with a reciprocating movement using a VDW Silver motor (VDW GmbH)
118 according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
119 The patency of the canals was confirmed with a #10 stainless steel K‐file (Lot 1185265
120 Dentsply Maillefer) and then irrigated abundantly with saline. Each file was discarded after
121 being used in 5 canals.The preparation time was notted in seconds by one of the authors. The
122 preparation time also included the time needed to irrigation the canals, change the instruments,
123 and check the apical patency.
124 Assessment of Canal Preparation
125 All groups were carried out by a author with 10 years of experience, and examination of
126 canal morphology before and after instrumantation was performed by another blind author
127 according to the experimental groups.
128 All prepared canals were assessed using composite images of pre- and post-
129 instrumentation. A camera (Canon EOS 500D DSLR, Tokyo, Japan) secured at a fixed distance
PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26641v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 8 Mar 2018, publ: 8 Mar 2018
130 (32 cm) from a microscope stage was used to capture the images, which were then saved on a
131 desktop computer. To help align pre- and post- instrumentation photographs, each block was
132 marked with 10 reference points. The composite images were analysed using image analysis
133 software (AutoCAD, Silver Spring, MD, USA).
134 AutoCAD (Autodesk, San Rafael, CA) software, a measurement scale was also arrenged.
135 Then, these images were transferred to same software, and the levels of blocks removed were
136 computed at 20 points (10 inner and 10 outer points). The points of measurement were defined in
137 1-mm intervals; points 0 to 3 established the apical part, points 4 to 6 constituted the coronal
138 part, and points 7 to 10 established the coronal plane part of the canal.
139 The distance was measured between the inner limit of the initial canal and the inner limit
140 of the instrumented canal (A) and between the outer limit of the initial canal and the outer limit
141 of the instrumented canal (B). The following equations were used to determine transportation
142 and the total amount of dentin removed:
143 Transportation:丨A − B丨(A result of ‘0’ indicates no transportation
144 Total amount of dentin removed: A + B
145 Statistical Analyses
146 Statistical analyses of data obtained in this study were carried out according to SPSS 21
147 (IBM SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL) software. Data were analysed according to the one-way
148 multivariate analysis of variance (ANOVA) and least significant difference test. The level of
149 significance was set at 0.05.

151 Mean values and standard deviations of width values of canals shaped are presented in
152 Table 1. ProFile was found to create statistically significantly smaller enlargement values in total
153 and at all parts of canals (p<0 .001).
154 The direction and amount of canal transportation (mm) at the different measurement points
155 are presented in Figure 1 and Figure 2. ProFile caused less transportation in total and in the
156 coronal part (p<0.001). Reciproc caused less transportation in the middle part, and the
157 transportations were performed opposite to the curve (p<0.05). ProTaper caused more
158 transportation in the apical part (p<0.001).
159 There was no significant difference among the groups in terms of maintaining the original
160 working length (WL). The average WL loss of all groups was only 0.3 mm. Reciproc was
161 significantly faster (23 s±4.4), followed by ProFile (52.8 s±3.7) and ProTaper (104.4s±16.5)
162 (p<0.001). Only one instrument fracture (25/0.06 ProFile) was noted. Canal irregularity was not
163 observed in any group, whereas all groups showed one ledge each.
164 Discussion
165 The frequent introduction of new dental instruments or devices into the market has been a
166 concern for dentists worldwide, as the prices of such instruments are generally high, especially in
167 developing countries. In addition, the use of these tools requires new skills and experience. For
168 this reason, while innovations in dentistry are being pursued, it may be advantageous to update
169 the dental instruments that we have been using for years. In this article, the shaping capacities of
170 conventional instruments and those of ProFile instruments, which are considered the gold
171 standard, have been reviewed once again.
PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26641v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 8 Mar 2018, publ: 8 Mar 2018
172 All dentists know that root canal shaping is the most time-consuming and exhausting part
173 of root canal treatment. The manufacturers have not been able to introduce new equipment and
174 tools in the dental market. For this purpose, changes were made to the cross-sections of root
175 canal files, and new alloys are on the agenda. It was revolutionary for endodontists when
176 manufacturers first marketed nickel-titanium instruments and then added a motor to the system.
177 Later, the files used with this engine system started to create some disadvantages for
178 endodontists. The more tools that are broken, the more difficult they are to remove, which
179 increases the number of tools used and the expense. Meanwhile, the reciprocating motion used in
180 the Giromatic system has started to regain popularity.
181 The experiment with shaping of root canal with a single file first started with the F2
182 ProTaper in reciprocating motion (2, 3,11,13). Afterwards, by utilising the advantages of m-wire
183 alloys, single-file systems were marketed commercially. Some research has been performed on
184 the shaping capabilities of these instruments, and the results have been quite satisfactory (4,5,9).
185 However, these instruments in a reciprocating motion were presented two drawbacks. First, the
186 likelihood of instrument fracture is due to the relative hardness resulting from the size, taper and
187 cross-section of the instrument, rather than cyclic fatigue. Second, it makes it necesseray for
188 creating a glide path with additional hand files before using the F2 instrument in a reciprocating
189 motion (2). It has been reported that 15 K file can be used safely at reciprocal movement, with
190 the prevention of apical transportation, in the preparation of a glide path (5).
191 The reciproc with a #15 or #20 K-File glide path had similar shaping performance to other
192 comparable file systems in the preparation of mandibular molars (6,15-17). Various gide paths
193 created with pathfiles were advantageous in creating minimal apical transportation, and
PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26641v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 8 Mar 2018, publ: 8 Mar 2018
194 reciprocating single-file system were relatively centralized in the canal and there was not
195 difference between these pathfile files used in straight canals (18).
196 Although glide path techniques have been proposed in single file systems, some studies
197 have shown satisfactory results when these files are not used. The Reciproc without a glide path
198 maintained the original canal curvature well and was safe to use (9, 19). The F2 without glide
199 path preparation has created satisfactory root canal shaping as well as the full-sequence ProTaper
200 system (11). In this study, glide path preparation was not performed.
201 Some authors suggested preflaring of the coronal porion of the canal before the files are
202 working to prevent undesirable situations that may occur during canal preparation (20, 21). Since
203 ProFile is in more frequent contact with the dentin because of its larger radial fields, the tip of
204 the instrument may bind in the canal; in this study, ProFile OS 3 files were used for coronal
205 expansion to overcome undesired deformities. Likewise, in the ProTaper group, the SX file was
206 used for coronal enlargement.
207 According to the results of the present study, statistically significantly less resin was
208 removed at all measurement points in the ProFile group than in the Reciproc group (p<0.05). The
209 amount of substance removed from root canals depends on the depth of penetration of the
210 rotating instruments and the shapes of the instruments used. The convex triangular sections of
211 ProTaper increase the cutting efficiency of the instrument. Moreover, the taper of the instrument
212 ranges from 0.08 to 0.19, which is greater than that of ProFile and equal to that of Reciproc when
213 used at the same level in the canal. However, the amount of substance removed was greater than
214 the amounts reported in other studies (5, 11, 16, 22). This can be performed by increasing the
215 instrument’s duration of use in the canal.
PeerJ Preprints | https://doi.org/10.7287/peerj.preprints.26641v1 | CC BY 4.0 Open Access | rec: 8 Mar 2018, publ: 8 Mar 2018
216 Apical canal transportation is an undesirable deformity that is affected by a wide variety of
217 factors, such as the type of instrument, size, and type of alloy, instrumantation technique, or
218 curve of the canal. Transportation can lead to debris and the presence of uncleaned canals that
219 contain microorganisms that have not been destroyed or that have not been neutralized, or which
220 can distort the integrity of the root (i.e. an apical or strip perforation) and create hermetically
221 incapable canal (23).
222 Canal transportation may result in inadequately cleaned root canals harbouring debris and
223 residual microorganisms, over-reduction of sound dentin with a possible outcome of reduced
224 fracture resistance and destruction of the integrity of the root (i.e. an apical or strip perforation)
225 (23).
226 Previously, it has been reported that apical sealing may be adversely affected if apical
227 transport is greater than 0.3 mm (24). No transportation value recorded in this study exceeded
228 this limit.
229 ProFile caused less transportation overall and in the coronal part (p<0.001). Reciproc
230 caused less transportation in the middle part, and the transportation was performed opposite to
231 the curve (p<0.001). ProTaper caused more transportation in the apical part (p<0.001).
232 The shaping ability of ProFile instruments has been investigated in a number of studies. In
233 general, this system minimizes the apical transportation by maintaining the original canal
234 curvature well.(25-28). These good features are believed to originate from the cross-section of
235 the instrument, which is a radial area that allows the instrument to remain in the center of the
236 canal by rotating 360 degrees (29). This section helps prevent undesired deformations (30). In
237 the literature, there has been no study of the performance of the ProFile alone or in combination
238 with an additional auxiliary canal insturment as pathfile.

239 There are several methods of examining canal transportation, including radiographic
240 imaging, cross-sectioning, computed tomography (CT), micro CT, cone beam CT (CBCT), and
241 the use of simulated root canals (9, 11, 31). Resin blocks were preferred in this study, as they can
242 simulate canals and are more successful in providing standardisation. In the literature, there is no
243 information on transportation with the F2 in which resin blocks were selected as the investigation
244 method. This also applies in part to Reciproc. Therefore, we could not make an exact
245 comparison. However, a small number of studies in which other investigative methods were used
246 present data indicating that the F2 ProTaper transports at an acceptable level (2,4,11,16). In this
247 study, although the maximum apical transport was observed with the F2, this amount remained at
248 the critical level determined by Wu et al. (24). There are many studies in the literature on
249 Reciproc, the first single-file system on the market. It has been shown that the shaping ability of
250 this file, which usually completes the shaping quickly, is satisfactory (6, 9, 15-17, 22).
251 The full-sequence ProTaper approach with Reciproc using CBCT straightened root canal
252 curvatures similarly and created alike canal transportation with the other five files in the
253 preparation of mesial canals of mandibular molars (16. In a similar study, Bane et al. (32)
254 reported that ProTaper straightened the root canal to a greater extent.
255 In the present study, only one file was fractured in the ProFile group, whilst danger zone
256 formation in one block and ledge formation in another block were recorded in the Reciproc
257 group. Reciproc was significantly faster (23s ± 4.4), followed by ProFile (52.8s ± 3.7) and
258 ProTaper (104.4s± 16.5) (p<0.000). In agreement with these findings, it was reported that
259 Reciproc instruments prepared canals significantly faster than other instruments.
260 Conclusions

261 According to this study, both ProFile and ProTaper files have the potential to reduce the
262 number of files required for shaping curved root canals. However, Reciproc, produced using a
263 single-file concept, was determined to be more advantageous in terms of time. This study
264 suggests that the conventional rotary technique system might have comparable efficacy to the
265 single-file system for root canal shaping.
