Abstract
The correlation between remaining dentin thickness and fracture resistance in prepared teeth is of interest to dentists. A sample of 60 human teeth (mandibular premolars) was extracted and examined using cone beam computed tomography to assess residual dentin thickness before and after instrumentation. The gathered samples have been divided into three distinct categories, each with 20 samples. Hand files were used in Group 1, Protaper Next was used in Group 2, and a V taper was used in Group 3. They were examined for remaining dentin thickness after preparation with 3D CS Software and fracture resistance utilizing a Universal Testing Machine (UTM). Therefore, the objective of this research is to compare the amount of dentin removed by V Taper and Pro Taper Next to hand files using CBCT at the apical and coronal middle levels. Following that, these values will be correlated with fracture resistance values obtained from the Universal Testing Machine.
