The Challenge of C-Shaped Canal Systems: A Comparative Study of the Self-Adjusting File and ProTaper [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Endodontics, 2012
INTRODUCTION: C-shaped canals are anatomic features that present the clinician with both diagnostic and operational challenges. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of the Self-Adjusting File (SAF; ReDent, Ra'anana, Israel) in shaping C-shaped canals with that of the rotary ProTaper file system (Dentsply-Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland).

Apical Extrusion of Debris Using Self-Adjusting File, Reciprocating Single-File, and 2 Rotary Instrumentation Systems

open access: yesJournal of Endodontics, 2013
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the weight of debris extruded apically from teeth using different in vitro preparation techniques.Sixty-eight extracted human mandibular premolars with single canals and similar lengths were instrumented using ProTaper F2 (25, .08; Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), the Self-Adjusting File (1.5-mm ...

The Self-Adjusting File (SAF). Part 2: Mechanical Analysis

Journal of Endodontics, 2010
The study was designed to explore the mechanical properties of the self-adjusting file (SAF) and its application in the root canal using continuous irrigation.The compressibility of the SAF file and the resulting peripheral force were measured using specially designed systems.

SELF ADJUSTING FILES IN PEDIATRIC DENTISTRY – A REVIEW

2022
Deciduous tooth is of great significance as it maintains the space for permanent dentition. Conventional pulpectomy procedure is performed with stainless steel hand files. The rigid nature of these files may cause bizarre canal shapes. The time taken during biomechanical preparation may lead to further worsening of the patient's cooperation, especially

Self-Adjusting Files in Retreatment: A High-Resolution Micro–Computed Tomography Study [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Endodontics, 2012
INTRODUCTION: Rotary instruments that are used for retreatment are very effective, but most of them leave root filling residue in the canal. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of removing gutta-percha-based root fillings with ProTaper retreatment files (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) followed by F1 and F2 ProTaper ...

Removal of Gutta-Percha From Root Canals Using the Self-Adjusting File

Journal of Endodontics, 2012
The aim of this study was to compare the percentage of the residual gutta-percha-occupied area (PRGPA) in root canals after retreatment using ProTaper retreatment files (Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland) with or without the additional use of Self-Adjusting Files (SAFs; ReDent-Nova, Ra'anana, Israel).Root canals in 33 curved mesiobuccal roots
