Article Abstract
Introduction: The aim of this ex vivo study was to evaluate the removal of filling material after using CM-wire, M-wire, and nickel-titanium instruments in both reciprocating and rotary motions in curved canals.
Methods: Thirty maxillary lateral incisors were divided into 9 groups according to retreatment procedures: Reciproc R25 followed by Mtwo 40/.04 and ProDesign Logic 50/.01 files; ProDesign R 25/.06 followed by ProDesign Logic 40/.05 and ProDesign Logic 50/.01 files; and Gates-Glidden drills, Hedström files, and K-files up to apical size 30 followed by K-file 40 and K-file 50 up to the working length. Micro-computed tomography scans were performed before and after each reinstrumentation procedure to evaluate root canal filling removal. Statistical analysis was performed with Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, and Wilcoxon tests (P < .05).
Results: No significant differences in filling material removal were found in the 3 groups of teeth. The use of Mtwo and ProDesign Logic 40/.05 rotary files did not enhance filling material removal after the use of reciprocating files. The use of ProDesign Logic 50/.01 files significantly reduced the amount of filling material at the apical levels compared with the use of reciprocating files.
Conclusions: Association of reciprocating and rotary files was capable of removing a large amount of filling material in the retreatment of curved canals, irrespective of the type of alloy of the instruments. The use of a ProDesign Logic 50/.01 file for apical preparation significantly reduced the amount of remnant material in the apical portion when compared with reciprocating instruments.

Objective: To evaluate the performance in endodontic retreatment and pericervical dentin preservation using ProDesign Logic (PDL), Reciproc Blue (RB), and WaveOne Gold (WOG) NiTi systems in first (MB1) and second (MB2) mesiobuccal root canals of maxillary molars, using cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and micro-computed tomography (micro-CT).
Materials And Methods: MB1 and MB2 canals were prepared, filled, and randomized into four groups (n = 8). MB1 were retreated using PDL up to file 40/0.

Article Synopsis
- * Sixty teeth were divided into five groups to analyze different conditions of foraminal enlargement, and scanning electron microscopy was used to assess changes in foramen shape.
- * Results showed significant differences in foramen wear and shape transformation among all groups compared to the control, with enlargement creating round-shaped foramina, indicating that the files effectively change the foramen's characteristics.

This study evaluated the effect of ultrasonic agitation on the filling capacity of ready-to-use calcium silicate-based sealer Bio-C Sealer (BCS, Angelus, Paraná, Brazil) or powder-liquid BioRoot RCS (BR, Septodont, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, France) using curved artificial canals by micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Additionally, flow (mm) and flow area (mm2) were evaluated for both materials. Acrylic resin main canal (60° curvature and 5 mm radius, with 3 lateral canals in the cervical, middle, and apical thirds) were prepared up to size 40/.
