Context:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate and compare the remaining dentin thickness and root canal transportation of WaveOne GOLD, XP-endo Shaper, and GenEndo file systems to assess their performance in curved canals using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) imaging.
Materials And Methods:
Seventy-five extracted maxillary first molars were selected with a curvature ranging between 15° and 30°. The samples were allocated into three groups (n = 25) and shaped using WaveOne GOLD, XP-endo Shaper, and GenEndo files. CBCT images were captured before and after instrumentation.
Statistical Analysis:
The remaining dentin thickness and root canal transportation were measured at 3, 5, and 7 mm from the apex in both mesiodistal and buccolingual directions. The data were statistically analyzed using one-way ANOVA followed by Tukey's post hoc test.
Results:
GenEndo file system demonstrated greater preservation of remaining dentin thickness and resulted in less root canal transportation compared to the WaveOne GOLD and XP-endo Shaper systems across all three levels.
Conclusions:
GenEndo file system which comprises multiple files has removed less amount of dentin and canal transportation when compared to single file systems, i.e., WaveOne GOLD and XP-endo Shaper file systems.
