Cutting efficiency of ProDesign R, Reciproc Blue and WaveOne Gold reciprocating instruments

Research, Society and Development, 2021
This study aimed to evaluate, in vitro, the cutting efficiency and time spent for instrumentation of three different heat-treated reciprocating systems in simulated straight canals. Forty-five acrylic blocks with a straight simulated root canal with 21 millimeters in length were initially weighed (P1).

Procedural Errors Associated With the Use of Rotary and Reciprocating Endodontic Instruments in Undergraduate Settings: A Scoping Review

International Journal of Dentistry, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Introduction Root canal treatment (RCT) performed by undergraduate dental students is associated with procedural errors that may compromise outcomes. With the increasing use of rotary nickel–titanium (Ni–Ti) instrumentation, understanding these errors has become important; however, existing evidence remains fragmented.
