Popis: AIM In the present study, we compared the transportation of three different instrumentation systems in different levels of standardized artificial curved canals. METHODS Sixty epoxy resin blocks containing simulated canals were divided into three groups (n = 20) according to the instrument used for canal preparation: Reciproc (REC), Reciproc Blue (REC Blue), and XP-endo Shaper (XPS). Pre- and post-instrumentation digital images of each specimen were superimposed by Photoshop software to evaluate the different amount of transportation. The Kruskal-Wallis and Wilcoxon were the non-parametric tests applied for the intergroup and intragroup analyses, respectively. The significance level was set at 5%. RESULTS The XPS showed significantly less canal transportation than REC Blue at five levels (P
