Ultrasonic root-end preparation causes more root deformation than microhandpiece systems. While this increased strain could lead to fractures, no cracks were observed in this study.

Area of Science:

  • Endodontic Surgery
  • Dental Materials Science
  • Biomechanical Engineering

Background:

  • Ultrasonic root-end preparation is a novel technique in endodontic surgery.
  • Concerns exist regarding increased root crack formation with ultrasonic methods.
  • Limited research has quantified root deformation during preparation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure root deformation during ultrasonic and microhandpiece root-end preparation.
  • To detect root cracks using stereomicroscopy, staining, and image processing.
  • To compare the biomechanical stress induced by different preparation systems.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized strain gauge methods to quantify root deformation.
  • Employed stereomicroscope, staining, and image processing for crack detection.

  • Compared root deformation between ultrasonic and microhandpiece systems.

    • Main Results:

    • Ultrasonic instrumentation generated significantly higher average strain compared to the microhandpiece system.
    • No root cracks were detected on the resected surfaces in any tested group.
    • Higher strain levels correlate with increased fracture risk in endodontic procedures.

    Conclusions:

    • Ultrasonic root-end preparation induces greater biomechanical strain on dental roots.
    • Despite increased strain, no root fractures were observed in this study.
    • Minimizing root strain is crucial for reducing fracture likelihood in endodontic surgery.
