single-rooted canals, permanent maxillary canines, biomechanical preparation, disinfection, continuous irrigation, instrumentation sequence, RACE® EVO, endodonticsAbstract
This study investigated the biomechanical preparation of 40 single-rooted canals in permanent maxillary canines. The selected teeth were disinfected and analysed radiographically. A manual instrumentation sequence and the RACE® EVO system were applied. Continuous irrigation with 2.5% sodium hypochlorite during preparation was emphasized. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of both techniques and their significance in enhancing endodontic procedures.
