Abstract

The smear layer removal capability of different instrumentation techniques on the mesio-buccal root canals of maxillary first molars is of interest to dentists. Sixty extracted maxillary first molars with fully developed apices, curved root canals, and curvatures between 30 to 45 degrees were selected. The teeth were divided into four groups (n=15) based on the instrumentation technique used. The samples were analyzed using a thermal field emission scanning electron microscope to assess smear layer removal at the apical, middle, and coronal thirds of the canals. The Wave One file system showed superior performance in smear layer removal across all three regions of the canal compared to hand files, Hyflex CM rotary files and SAF.
