Abstrakt:	Introduction: This study used different irrigation techniques to compare the levels of apical bacterial extrusion during the preparation of root canals with a reciprocating instrument widely used in endodontics, the Reciproc files 25/0.08 and 40/0.06. Materials and Methods: The irrigation techniques employed were conventional syringe irrigation and passive ultrasonic irrigation (PUI); the latter, with one or two activation cycles. Seventy extracted mandibular human premolars were contaminated with Enterococcus faecalis for 5 days and were distributed into 6 experimental groups ( n =10), and the remaining specimens were used as positive and negative control groups ( n =5). Group 1: instrumentation performed with Reciproc 25/0.08 and conventional syringe irrigation; Group 2: instrumentation performed with Reciproc 25/0.08 along with PUI for one minute after instrumentation (PUI-1); and Group 3: instrumentation performed with Reciproc 25/0.08 along with PUI for one minute before and after instrumentation (PUI-2). Groups 4, 5 and 6 were instrumented with Reciproc 40/0.06, and irrigation was performed similar to the previous groups, in the aforementioned order. Each root canal was irrigated with saline solution. Extruded debris was collected in microtubes. The contents of the microtubes were homogenized, diluted, and spread on Brain Heart Infusion agar. After 48 hours, the number of colony-forming units was determined for each sample. For statistical analysis, the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Dunn's tests were used (α=0.05). Results: The CFU/mL count indicated that the instrumentation with Reciproc 25/0.08 was associated with the highest bacterial extrusion, mainly when PUI was performed ( P <0.05). Conclusion: All the instrumentation techniques caused bacterial extrusion through the apical foramen; however, the largest file size of the Reciproc 40/0.06 groups was associated with less apical bacterial extrusion. Competing Interests: None.
