Abstract

Aim The aim of this study was to compare the canal transportation and canal centric ability of One Shape (Micro Mega, Besançon, France) and Mani Silk (Mani Utsunomiya, Tochigi, Japan) nickel-titanium (NiTi) rotary files in curved canals with the help of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods Total 40 mesiobuccal canals of maxillary molars with an angle of curvature ranging between 25 and 45 degrees were divided according to the instrument used in canal preparation into two groups 20 samples each: One Shape (group 1) and Mani Silk (group 2). Pre- and post-instrumentation scans were performed using CBCT (Carestream CS 9300 scanner) to evaluate the transportation and centric ability at apical, middle, and coronal levels using unpaired Student's t-test. Results Mani Silk file showed significantly less canal transportation and better canal centric ability compared to One Shape system. Conclusion Mani Silk file maintained original canal curvature better than One Shape NiTi rotary file.
