Effects of ultrasonics and trephine burs on dentinal microcrack formation during broken instrument removal procedures: A micro-CT analysis.
Australian Endodontic Journal : the Journal of the Australian Society of Endodontology Inc 2023 November 25
The objective of this study was to compare the effects of ultrasonic and trephine burs on microcrack formation during the removal of broken instruments, utilising micro-computed tomography (Micro-CT). Twenty-five extracted human mandibular molars were used for this study. The hand files were fractured into the mesiobuccal canal, except in the control group. In the ultrasonic group (n = 10), ultrasonic tips were used to retrieve the instrument, while in the trephine group (n = 10), trephine burs (Meitrac, Meisinger) and an extractor device were utilised. For the control group (n = 5), only staging platform was prepared. After the removal procedures, micro-CT images were obtained from the specimens. The chi-squared test was used to analyse the data, and significance was considered to be p < 0.05. Overall, 15 736 cross sections were analysed. No significant differences were found between control and experimental groups. Removal of broken instruments with trephine burs caused significantly more dentinal microcracks compared with ultrasonics (p = 0.016).
