Apical root cracks; nickel-titanium rotary files; vertical root fracture
Introduction: The aim of this study was to compare the effects of three brands of nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary files with different designs on the initiation of apical root cracks when working short, at, and beyond the apical foramen. Methods: One-hundred eight teeth with straight single canals were selected and mounted on resin blocks with simulated periodontal ligaments, and the apex was exposed. The teeth were divided into 9 groups of 12 teeth according to the NiTi rotary file type used (Profile [Dentsply Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland], K3 [SybronEndo, West Collins, CA], and Endo Wave [FKG Dentaire, La-Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland]) and working length (at CL, 1 mm short of [CL - 1 mm], and 1 mm beyond [CL + 1 mm] the apical foramen). Digital images of the apical surface of every tooth were taken during the apical enlargement sequence at each file change. These images were compared with the baseline image, and the presence of a crack was noted. Results: Significantly less cracks were observed in the CL - 1 mm group than in the CL and CL + 1 mm groups. No significant difference was found between the file types used. Conclusions: Working 1 mm short of the apical foramen caused less cracks on the apical surface. In addition, more cracks were observed when using larger file sizes. Instrumentation with NiTi rotary files could potentially cause cracks on the apical root surface. (J Endod 2011;37:522-525)
