PurposeTo compare the cleaning efficacy of root canal walls after using two Nickel–Titanium (Ni–Ti) rotary files (Flexmaster and Mtwo) and one hand Ni–Ti file (Ni–Ti flex-K) when associated with different final irrigation regimens (SmearClear, 17% ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) and sodium hypochlorite).Materials and methodsNinety extracted human premolars with similar range of canal curvature (21–39°) were selected. After crown removal and working length determination, roots were divided into three equal groups according to root canal instrumentation: Group I and Group II were prepared using Flexmaster, Mtwo Ni–Ti rotary systems respectively where Group III was prepared using hand NiTi flex-K files. Each group was further subdivided into three equal subgroups according to root canal final irrigation; subgroup A: SmearClear, subgroup B: 17% EDTA and subgroup C: NaOCl. Roots were then splitted longitudinally and processed for scanning electron microscopic (SEM) examination to evaluate and score the root canal cleanliness.ResultsFinal root canal irrigation using either SmearClear or 17% EDTA had significantly better cleaning efficiency than that of NaOCl in all tested groups. Ni–Ti hand files had significantly less cleaning efficacy than that of rotary systems except in subgroup C using NaOCl.
