Abstract

Aim:To compare the percentage of space occupied by residual root canal flling material after using  HyFlexTMRemover preparation system and RECIPROC® system for non-surgical root canal retreatment.

Materials and methods: 30 mandibular premolars underwent initial root canal treatment and filled using the hydraulic condensation technique then stored in an incubator with 100% humidity and a temperature of 370 for 30 days. The specimen were then removed from the incubator and randomly divided into two groups (N=15), then non-surgical retreatment was performed. Each specimen were cleaved into two longitudinal sections and photographed using a light microscope connected to a digital camera  and then analyzed by the computer. 

Results:Significant differences (p-value >0.05) were found between the two groups. The mean percentage of the area occupied by remaining filling material was (7%) in the HyFlexTMRemover group which was 32.70%  lower than RECIPROC® group which scored (11%).

Conclusion:Within the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that using HyFlexTMRemover for non-surgical retreatment resulted in a more clean root canals regarding the amount of residual flling material compared to RECIPROC®
