Abstrakt: The present research aimed to reveal the in vitro effects of different endodontic file systems utilizing different endodontic access cavity designs on the elimination of Enterococcus faecalis from root canal systems. One hundred and fifty mandibular molar teeth were separated into three groups with respect to the access cavity design: traditional endodontic cavity (TEC), conservative endodontic cavity (CEC), and truss access cavity (TAC) (n = 50). After access cavity preparation, inolulation of teeth with E. faecalis was undertaken for 21 days. Following the first sampling (S1), further division of the groups into five subgroups (n = 10) was performed: ProTaper Gold, 2Shape, TruNatomy, Reciproc Blue, and WaveOne Gold. After instrumentation, bacterial sampling (S2) was performed. Bacterial reduction was evaluated in colony-forming units/mL, and statistical analysis was carried out. The E. faecalis count decreased significantly in all groups (p < 0.05). The range of mean values for a decrease in E. faecalis in log numbers was lowest in the TAC and Reciproc Blue groups, while the highest values of bacterial reduction were detected in the TEC and ProTaper Gold groups. The highest level of antibacterial action was obtained with the use of ProTaper Gold compared to the other file systems tested. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
