OneShape rotary instrument retains original canal curvatures, Finds study
Shaping ability of a file plays an important role during instrumentation in an endodontic treatment. Rotary NiTi (nickel-titanium) instruments are designed to shape the canals. Their performance and safety have always been a subject of interest among practitioners in the presence of anatomical challenges.
Canal curvature is a parameter that can challenge the performance of a file; hence respecting the anatomy of a canal in the presence of curvature is a desired characteristic of any rotary instrument considering the root canal morphology.
A recent analysis conducted at the Department of Clinical Sciences, Ajman University, Ajman, United Arab Emirates has found out that among OneShape (OS), Hero Shaper (HS), and Revo-S (RS) instruments, OneShape (OS) file system maintained the original canal curvatures well.
The study is published in the BMC Oral Health Journal.
Pouyan Vakili-Gilani and colleagues aimed to compare the shaping ability of OneShape (OS), Hero Shaper (HS), and Revo-S (RS) instruments in simulated L-shaped canals.
