| Popis: | The purpose of the mechanical root canal preparation is to clean it and give it the right shape. The preparation should be carried out in a way that maintains the original curvature and initial orientation of the apical end. Insufficient root canal preparation may prevent effective chemical decontamination and obturation to the full working length. The study aims to evaluate the shaping ability and effectiveness of the NiTi rotary and reciprocating endodontic instruments, compared to standard hand files using magnetic resonance imaging based on spin echo. Material and methods: A comparative study of severely curved root canals&rsquo shaping abilities using three NiTi systems and K-type hand files was performed, with 40 training &ldquo endo-blocks&rdquo presenting with &ldquo L-shaped&rdquo canal. The root canal topography and geometry &ldquo before&rdquo and &ldquo after&rdquo mechanical preparation obtained by the magnetic resonance imaging based on the spin echo was used. The main measurement was made using the RARE sequence, with slice thickness reduced to 100 micrometers. In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, NA = 25 was used. To minimize the measurement time, the field of view was limited to a cuboid 17 × 16 × 3 mm, with a resolution of 33 × 31 × 100 micrometers. Each 3D image consisted of 512 × 512 × 30 voxels. The imaging plane has been selected in such a way as to fully illustrate the course of curvature of the model root canal. For TR = 5 s and effective TE = 36 ms, TA was 1.5 h. Measurements were performed twice, before and after the preparation of endo-blocs with a selected type of endodontic tools. Results: The use of rotary NiTi instruments caused a substantial alteration in the curvature topography and angle of the canals and change in the curvature length. The substantial discrepancy was observed during the preparation of simulated root canals with the reciprocating instruments and the use of WaveOne files led to the largest volume variation. No dependence between the amount of material removed and the measured intracanal side was observed when NiTi instruments were used. Preparation with hand K-type files revealed a relationship between the measuring side and the amount of material removed, with the lower values obtained for the canals&rsquo internal curvatures. Conclusions: All the studied endodontic instruments allow a safe preparation of curved root canals in simulating in vivo conditions. The abbreviation of original root canals topography does not seem to be significantly altered following mechanical preparation of simulated, severely curved root canals. The spin echo-based magnetic resonance imaging technique can be utilized for visualization of the internal topography of the root&rsquo s canals in vitro before and after their mechanical preparation in in vitro conditions. In the future, magnetic resonance microscopy may become a diagnostic tool supporting the work of a clinician. |
