Abstract

Introduction: Root canal instrumentation is a challenging procedure, due to different factors. These factors can be related to tooth anatomy, operator skills and experience and instruments used during the treatment. Certain areas regarding operator experience and root canal instrumentation in the endodontics literature are still not fully understood and are in need of further research. Aims: The aim of this thesis was to review the available literature on root canal instrumentation. The two main aspects investigated in this thesis, are operator experience and its effect on procedural errors during root canal instrumentation and the ability of rotary nickel titanium instruments in achieving three-dimensional instrumentation of the root canal system using modern instruments that can conserve the tooth structure. The objective of the 1st study is to investigate the procedural errors created and time efficiency of modern engine driven rotary endodontic file systems used by inexperienced users. The objective of the 2nd study was to investigate the percentage of root canal surface instrumentation and amount of dentine preservation achieved by a recently introduced endodontic file system claimed to achieve higher ...
